Cam,tuning, And Tranny
ok so i need help. i wanna go with a 228 cam and buy the package off Texas Speed. if i could to save money do i really need to build the tranny up right away or even at all. its not like a 228 is that huge of a cam to begin with. im gonna go with a 3600 yenk convertor. the car will mostly be a daily driver. do i really need to worry about my tranny. it has 63000 miles on it if that helps. also with the tuning issues. i was gonna do headers, exhaust, convertor, and then a bolt on tune. is it possible for tuners to do it all at once because im just curious to know. i heard sometimes if you do that your tune can be off. i heard its better to go headers convertor then bolt on tune. then put the cam in and then a cam tune.

I got 70,000 miles lt hedders lid loud mouth tci 35000stall and a tranny cooler ( amust when you get a stall) and no tunes no problems.I just ordered a cam from thunderracing today then i will tune then it then. I also ordered (from jegs) a tci deeper tranny pan that will go in when I put in the cam,but to answer you question no I will not rebuild the tranny til I do heads.I just put in the deeper pan for extra cooling(cheap insurance).I have seen alot people do heads and acam with the stock tranny(meaning no rebuild),but most get rebuild or a rock on tranny,FLT,etc when they do heads.
