ls6-240sx

Heres a quick run down, motor is in a mustang coupe lets say roughly 3000lbs. What converter do you guys think would work best with this combo? It has a th350, the car will be street driven a lot so keep that in mind. Also what kind of power do you think it will make?

5.3 liter iron block SBE
All arp hardware including rod bolts/Head studs
(243's) with a little massaging
all new valve train, crane dual springs (good to .675 lift), ls7 lifters, hardend pushrods, new valve seals, etc. etc.
lunati turbo cam (.651 lift)
ls9 head gaskets
edelbrock victor jr intake manifold and fuel rails
80lb seimens
4150 accufab throttle body
extreme velocity hat
I.T.S. 76mm/96ar turbo
HP turbo kit modified to fit the ls (headers not manifolds)
tial wg and bov
a2a front mount intercooler (hp stage 2)
3bar map sensor
Tuned with HPtuners so fuel will be changed back and forth e85/pump depending on need.
Right now it is on E85 and at 15psi and 16* timing.

Im new to the LS Turbo thing, Im use to Carb NOS stuff.

Turbo 350 is a weak link. why get rid of od on street?

should be a fun ride with any converter.

what gear and what size tire?

ls6-240sx

Thanks for the responses guys, I appreciate your suggestions and comments. IF you have somewhat negative things to say like whats posted below at least give a explanation as to why you think that?

And also please answer the questions i am asking in addition to anything else that you have to add. Thank you.



Are you saying that i need bigger injectors? On the boost and timing settings that its at now they are fine. According to the data logs that i have, it should be good to around 18* and 19psi before it maxes out the injectors.

If i am missing something let me know, like i said im pretty new to this and trying to learn all i can.



I did not build the car. The car was built a few months ago by a guy in Alabama. I just picked the car up about two weeks ago.

HOW is a th350 a weak link? They are strong as hell if built right. I have gone single digits with 1.30 60ft in a 3800lbs car with a th350. But yes the lack of OD does kinda suck. The short drive i took in the car puts it right at 2300rpm for 55 Mph. So not horrible.




Thanks, What little i have got to drive it because of the weather has been fun.
It has a 3.27 gear and a 275/50/15 MT drag radial.

How much power are you wanting to push?

ls6-240sx

I dont really know lol. As much as i can and still have it safe and street able. Those are the main things, i want to drive the car and enjoy it. My last two cars where mostly track cars and that got old.

you will enjoy the car more if you keep the converter tight. a little extra boost and a trans brake would go a looong ways toward good dual purpose and helping with a tight converter if an option

ls6-240sx

Yeah when i drop the trans to do the converter it will get a once over and a Brake. Ill prob do a 2-step of some kind also.

Up For guess on power #'s

650-675rwhp would be my guess. It really depends on the converter and type of dyno. Best get it to the track for the real numbers.
PTC for the converter.

ls6-240sx

I would be stoked if it made that kind of power. Im not really a dyno #'s type of guy, more of a time slip guy. But ive never had to get a car tuned or put on a dyno so im kind of excited to experiance it.

PTC will get my money when its time for a converter.
