Sonnax Front planet set I'm thinking about adding the Sonnax front planet set to my 2000 S10 LS swap. I'm running a Sloppy stage 1.5 Elgin cam, with a 2500 stall converter & 3.73 gears.
What I'm curious about is plate hole sizes for the 1-2 & 2-3 shift.
As it sits right now. The light throttle 1-2 is firm with a .072 and the 2-3 is on the soft side soft with a corvette servo & .093 hole. I have not yet been able to do any 1/2 to full throttle pulls. if I take off with more than a 1/4-3/8 throttle it just goes up in smoke...
So currently I want to take the 1-2 down to .065 and the 2-3 up to .110.
If i decide to pull the plug on the Sonnax gear set would I need to rethink the orifice sizes again???

Ok. If he's interested in a used one... I got 1. It's got less than 1k miles on it. I messed up on the build somehow and it burnt up the 3/4 clutches. So I rebuilt it and didn't reuse that planet. It looks brand new. I'd let it go at a good price. Sorry to hijack the thread.
