so can anyone chime in. if so how much if its a lockup

mods are in the sig thanks

 

You will lose a few in the city, none on the highway. The trick to city driving is to try and keep it rolling as much as possible. Lots of red lights will slaughter your mileage. Choose routes that are higher speed and less red lights.

 

Your MPG on the highway will should not change at all

 

Correct. Basically your milage will only change when not in lock up. But how much it will change when not in lock up it depends a lot on your foot. I would guestimate only a few MPGs lost in the city if you are conscious about it. But if you get a heavy foot it will make a much bigger difference.

ok thanks for the help guys

one more question though this car is my DD but i like to have a fun DD haha so im stuck ish between a 3200 or 3600 im getting like 80% feedback just go 3600 and i will be happy ..

this car will see the track maybe once a month if that and its my dd so what do you think 3600 or 3200

thank you

 

What are your future mods? 3200 is ok for a DD, but 3600 is fun. Especially if you add a cam later.

Chris

 

well it does have a cam roughly adding in the 1.6 roller rockers cam specs are around .536 lift

will driving around town will i really feel a difference with the 3200 VS 3600 im looking for dependibilty so yeah

 

Go with a 3600 you will be fine.

 

Go with the 3600 stall, you won't regret it. I put one in my 06 Trailblazer SS daily driver and I love it. The truck now feels like I shed 1000 lbs. I don't regret it at all, in fact, I like it so much I'm going to put one in my LS2 Monte also!

 

One other thing too, I was getting 16 mpg on my driver's information center before the converter. After the converter it only went down to 15 mpg. Of course this is driving around relatively easy with the occasional stomp, lol. If I drive it harder it will dip into the low 14 mpg range.

 

It does or it doesn't have a cam? Or it just has rockers?

 

oo thanks for the info guys!

yes it has a cam

 

LOL...installing a stall and worried about gas mileage!

 

Around town, my SS3600 doesn't lock until about 40-42 MPH. Once locked at 40 mph, the rpm sits at 1200-1300. Until locked, the rpm's are just above 2K. I have 3.23 gears, so at 65 mph the rpm with converter locked is 1900-2000

 

Get the big one!! I got a TH400 w yank 4k stall and 433 gears!!!! my car gets good mpg for what it is in the teens in town.....step one it and hold on!!!!! lol

 

"Sweet SS" what kind of other mods you got besides 3600 stall? was considering same stall or 3000 by yank. Want to get at least some traction off the line...what kind of mpg you getting also. thanks. I got the 3.23's also and am showing the same rpm's as you stated but have stock stall.

 

Go 3600. I was getting 14-16 mpg in town before cam/stall.. now getting around 10-11..
