thinking it may run pretty good

custom wheels ok not custom just powder coated factory 17's rears wrapped with Hoosier drag radials 275/40 17

thats real nice set up with the lines and direct port. I am going to get my direct port done few weeks from Nitrious Outlet though. Wish you luck with it!!

Looks like you are serious. Should run good. What have you done to the back end?

awesome build man, i love the direct port. is she a 6 speed?

You'll be luck if you don't blow the welfare on your intake and loose that peice of diamond plate you have bolted on the passenger floor the first time you run it lol

No, but seriously man you have got a sick sweet set up there!

thanks guys

she's an A4 built to handle 1000rwhp followed by DSS one piece aluminum drive shaft, BMR axles all built to handle 1000 rwhp also I have the 5/16 raised rear drag springs from Pedders.

best n/a 60' last night was 1.835 I need to learn to tune this thing myself so I can tweek it at the track.

thats awesome, i need to upgrade to a few parts like that.

Every GTO should be over 500 rwhp lol

What heads are on that thing? You've got some serious compression there.

What converter are you running? I've lost a few very well built a4's because of the converter clutch going out, then taking out the front pump....then you know what happens lol.

It's a vigilante 3600 stall
Heads are PRC stage 2.5

well I went and ran my car tonight for the first time on the new setup and lost overdrive on the way home.
what do you guys think about a turbo 400/350 swap

Yup, found out first hand when my 3400 ptc spit shavings into my 60e. I now have a Vigilante 4000 stall in it. The converter already feels night and day better than the ptc i had before. Can't wait to get to the track with it.

Did you make any passes before the trans started to give out? The most popular swap seems to be the 4l80e. You could also just have your 4l60e sent in and built. Btw your car is sick!

yes made three passes 1st spun full 1/8 mile well chirpping tires for the big end half
second I ran a 4 eyed stang on the bottle to my motor spun for about 75' then drug his ass
third run was a motor pass also against a supercharged nitrous fed silverado with my wife driving my car. I should of turned the bottle on for her.

Thanks for the compliment man the old car is fun to drive when it's not shitting parts

Sick YJ!

Post up some video's of a pass when it's all together.

I wish I had a gopro!!!
the guy that was videoing everything is all butt hurt because I sold someone parts that he said "I want but I'll get with you sometime" and another guy said "I want the entire package today!! will you take cash??"
needles to say I took the cash that day. and I won't get video from him anymore

sorry bout your trans issues..

Every GTO should be over 500 rwhp lol

fuck yea!!!!:headbang:

I know several people that have done the th400 swap in their f-bodies, and if I ever go auto ageing that is the way I would do it....but after 4 tranny swaps in mine (dead 4l60s) I swapped to a good old 3 speed Saginaw manual :)

I guess I need to contact Chris at g-force and talk with him on the swap

I looked into it and It's pretty strait forward. You can either get a spacer and flywheel, or an adapted torque converter that bolts right to the ls1 flywheel and slides right into the th400 or th350... You will need a driveshaft, and tranny mount adapter also, but for the most part very easy swap and the motors have the same bell bolt pattern.

Mark Ty very much for the info. Who makes a good torque converter. I have a vigilante now. I have only ever had one stall converter and that was a B&M
