Default Got the SS4000 Installed.

Well the install was pretty easy. Replaced the flexplate with the hughes SFI. So far I love it drives real good not to loose. I still have the stock 3.23 rear. I only have 100 miles so I haven't got on it off the line, however I have got on it from a 50 roll and all I can say is damn, what a difference, I have a small vibration And the cause I believe is I installed polyurethane trans mount and torque arm bushings And they are really stiff. I checked the BMR loop for clearence probs but no rubbing anywhere. So It must be the mounts, and like I say very minimal vibration only under wot at 5500+ rpms. Our first test and tune is in two weeks so I will keep you guys posted with the results.

Search for my post in here. Nobody told me either you have to eliminate them and some people don't get them. You may be lucky for a bit like me.

The Yank converter was one of my favorite mods, other than the nitrous.

The shift extension is great stays at 5000+ the entire time. Actually feels a little faster in 3rd past 90 mph.

AS far as the vibration goes, I have read bad things about using the poly trans mount. A poly mount for the engine is ok though.

On my setup I have a poly motor mounts and stock rubber tranny mount and have no vibrations.

It is a small vibration so not to concerned. I wanted the stronger mount because of the stall. I am going to check the loop tonite and drive it some more.

Well I changed out the poly mount tonite with another rubber one. No more vibration. Poly mounts really suck. Thanks for your help guys.

I thought my 4000 stall was badass. But it's like crack. I want more, lol. I'll probably jump it up to 4800 next.
