Stall without Subframe connectors? I plan to order a stall next week and would like to know if I would be ok driving for about a month before I get Sfc's, Lca's, Phb and what not? It would only be street driving. "no track use till later" Im guessing it would also be time for a better rearend cover? Thanks in advance for your replys.

youll be fine without the SFC and suspension for a little bit, but you will end up needing them once you add mroe power. I honestly dont think a rear end cover will help you, youll break the ring and pinion before that anyway

I know that they dont touch each other but with the added tq from the converter flashing & the higher str it will make the car want to flex more correct?

I have all kinds of dimples, but it could be from 500 plus at the motor, through a 3800 stall with ET streets under the car, for a couple years now with no sub frame connectors. However I did drop the stall to 2400 recently, not because of the no sfc's though. You'll be fine with out them.

It was too high of a stall for my setup. LT1's, unlike the LS1, don't really need much help out of the hole generally. I picked up a lot of topend power by switching to the 2400. Lost a hair out of the hole, but all it does is roast the tires anyways, so not much lost. The car is overall much faster on the 2400 than it was on the 3800.

I ran my 01 SS without SFC for a year and was cutting 1.50 ft without any problems and only had one small dimple but was probably a door ding if your car is full weight might want to start saving for a rear end it will break just a matter of time mine would last about 7-8000 miles before breaking ....but 10 bolt carriers are cheaper then a 12 bolt if on a budget like me
