****Precision of New Hampton custom 3500 stall****Help!
Ok, hopefully I got your all's attention. I am in the market for a stall converter and was calling some local auto tranny shops to get some quotes on a stall install. For the most part it was around $300 with new seals and fluids. However, one of the shops told me they had a converter they would sell me and install for $550. The converter was custom made by PRECISION of NEW HAMPTON. Its stall is 3200-3500. The backstory on it is that it was installed on one of their customers cars and when he decided to upgrade to a higher stall they kept that converter. They will sell me the converter outright for $200 and install it with new fluids and seals for $350, making the total price for converter/install $550. What would you all do? Is 3200-3500 a high enough stall to see great performance numbers with LT headers, LS6 intake, Lid, TSP MS3 cam and (possibly) 4.11 or 4.56 gears?

If they are standing behind the converter and their work, it doesn't sound like a bad deal to me. I don't know how much they are charging for the trans R&R, but I can't imagine a front pump seal and a refill is a lot.
4.56 is an awful lot of gear in an auto tho - are you running the 1/8th mile?

A4 in overdrive at 65 mph
2.73 = 1624 rpm
3.23 = 1922 rpm
3.73 = 2219 rpm
4.10 = 2439 rpm
4.56 = 2713 rpm
A4 in overdrive at 75
2.73 = 1874 rpm
3.23 = 2217 rpm
3.73 = 2561 rpm
4.10 = 2815 rpm
4.56 = 3131 rpm
A4 in drive at 110 (1/4 trap approx)
2.73 = 3927 rpm
3.23 = 4647 rpm
3.73 = 5366 rpm
4.10 = 5898 rpm
4.56 = 6560 rpm
Just so you know what you are getting into. Those gears and that cam are overkill for a daily driver, unless you drive 5 minutes to work each day. That's a drag combo you are talking about. Sure would be fun for a while, but that thing is gonna be screaming if you are doing any real commuting.
That setup with 3.73 gears and a 224/224 cam on a 112* would be fantastic on the street, and still be civil enough to be a true driver. Dropping 13 degrees intake duration and 18 degrees exhaust will do that.
If you are being honest about it being a daily driver, and you are not planning to build a track only car, then you may want to consider less cam and less gear.Last edited by hammertime; 03-23-2006 at 06:33 AM.
