Default god hates me, need cam advice!

Ok i was going to have my motorbuilt.. f13 cam, and all the supporting valvetrain/pushrods +long tubes. The kicker is i was going to have a 3400 Torque converter installed at the same time... is the F13 driveable with an A4 without a stall?? Im still getting the torque converter, but it will be like two months before i have enough money for that.

Id get the verter first. Or wait to have both of them done at the same time. I wouldnt put the cam in on a stock converter.

So why does God hate you? Is it because you want to have everything now? Not sure what you mean in the title of your thread. I was thinking there was some kind of catastrophe.

Do the converter first for sure. Your car will be a dog with that cam and stock converter and it will always be pulling hard on the brakes at idle.

LoL, i just feel like he's teasing me. I guesss just my attempt at humor.

im really really kicking myself now for buying an automatic. I was impatient and just bought an f-body isntead of waiting. Now i have do spend thousands of dollars just to be able to use the power i can make. if it were manual id be set...

God loves you.... and would never tempt you. Maybe he thinks you should just chill a little...... one mod at a time.

ls14...not necciaraly, witha manuel (if god hated you so) you would break that pathetic 10 bolt rearend...then it would cost you a good $2200 just to drive your car again with a 12 bolt. or you would have gotten a car with a clutch about to go...and have to spen 700 to get a decent clutch. just hope god loves you enough to save you from having to get a new tranny right away!
