Default Thank You Don AKA "Slowhawk Performance"

I picked up car from "Slowhawk Performance" the other day after "Don" and his crew installed a new FLT Level 4 tranny, Yanks SS3600 stall and retune. I can't tell you how thrilled I am in the performance increases, while keeping the streetability. I even recieved a call several days later from Don, to check in see how I liked the new add ons ect... I would recommended his shop to anyone, his knowledge and passion for the LSX platform is second to none. I have already begun saving for my Heads and Cam!
Thanks Again Don

congrats, must feel awesome. The yankss3600 is possibly the most popular street car converter.

don does fantastic work, and the ss3600 is a good mild converter, warning though, you will want more after a few weeks.

You should really enjoy that converter and tranny. The SS series is an awesome all around converter. You better bet with DR's you'll be a good .5+ quicker at the track too. You should definately sneak a cam in next

I've takin the car for a couple of short rides since getting the stall, can't wait for spring when the ground is warmer and the car hooks instead of spins when i punch it at 50mph.

If you are running street tires in the back, get rid of em' and get some nittos or something.

Might be worth getting some suspension pieces in now too, LCA's, Subframe connectors, Torque Arm, etc... If you don't have subframes make it a priority.

With a similar size stall and 3.23's with a good 400+rwhp I could hook pretty decent on the street with the right throttle input.

Have fun with it.

I do already have LCA's ,SFC, Strano sway bars but,I have some shitty GENERAL tires at the moment. I plan on getting some Nitto 555 come spring! Then I'll feel the real hit from the stall.

bah the 10 bolt will be fine for a while. Mine took a couple years of 1.6's before I f'ed up the pinion, partially my fault (probably set it up wrong when i replaced the seal)

I would suggest saving for a rear, but you should be ok for a while, assuming it's in good condition now. Nitto's work great in an auto, I drive on mine all year and at the track lower the psi and heat em' up and you'll be hooking fine at your power levels.

I must be different. Ran the 4k last year and didn't like how loose it was.Had it tightened to a 3600 for this year.
