Ok im not much of a V6 guy.. im used to LS1's..
I just happened to pic up a 98 Camaro with a 3800 in it..
My question is what is the biggest, best convertor i can run in this while still being streetable... I only plan on doing ram-air, maybe headers and some weight reduction, maybe a cutout as well...

Are mid 14's possible with this?? OR what should i do...

i plan on swapping an LS1 in within 2-3 years...

Thanks
Dave

 

anyone...?????????? TTT>>>>>............

 

Sounds like you are about there!
if you go to a 3.73 a 4000 - 4200 will help
but what is your plans for the car?

I'll link Magnus to this thread, he's knowledgeable.

 

thanks guys... Plans for the 3.8l are to run mid to low 14's without doing heads or cam..

drive for awhile and then in a few years swap an LS1 in..

Also it may be a possiblity that i will run a 50 - 100 shot wet with the 3.8l..

Any help will be appreciates..

Thanks
Dave

 

so basically go until you blow the engine? i can dig it.

 

Magnus???????? Any Input

 

What is the torque curve for the engine?

A converter rated as a 4000 stall behind an LS1 will probably be like a 3500 or less behind a V6. If the V6 torque curve is similar to an LT1's torque curve, a true stall of 2800 - 3200 would be ideal.
