Default th350 swap from t56

Putting in a th350..... 3800-4500 stall...

The thing is i run a 9in with 4.56 gears...... a 28 in tall tire....
how fast can i go with a redline of 7200 rpms.........

and with the trex camshaft how will the 3800-4500 stall work????
i also have plans for NX 150- 200 shot.... will this setup work out??

go to a gear calculator. they are online. i know that with a 28" tire, 4.10 gear and 7200 rpms that is going to be about 135 mph give or take a few mph. so 4.56 would keep you in the 128-129 mph range. i would recomend nothing short of a 4400 stall n/a for that cam. for peak performance, 4800 stall would be good.

spend your money on a good th400 and neal chance converter IMO. since they are the best and you are local.

okay thanks gator.. but what would that 4800 converter be too much if im spraying the car with 150- 200 hp...??????

The reason i was looking into the th350 is because there is one for sale on here

i wont put a th350 in my car., thats for sure. for just a bit more money you will have a 1000 hp capable tranny. sure it weighs a bit more but still. too many guys break th350s.

also i was meaning a 4800 stall on the spray. you need to talk to the converter builder and give them all your specs and goals. it will be a dog n/a unfortunately but thats automatic racing.

if you want the TH350, that's fine, but i'd just stay N/A with it. if you want to spray 150+ at it.. then go with a TH400. the 400's are stronger and cheeper to build.

but i think n/a with that set up, a 4,800+ converter would be awesome w/ the 4.56 gears and 28" tire. i don't think you'd be able to running spray w/ that gear though, atleast not that much.

Agree, NA your gear/tire combo with cam is good, with a nice large stall. On spray you'll run out of gear. I am running a TH350, larger cam than the MS3, 4000stall, 3.23 gears, spraying a lil 120shot and crossing traps at 6200rpm on smaller 26" tire. I plan on setting up the second stage shortly, then I am sure the rpm at trap will be in the range of 7000, where I want it. Once my wheels get here, I can use the total rpm vs 3.23 vs 26" tire and calculator the correct gearing for 28" tire. I am thinking its going to be 3.50 as was recommended by many others. And as Gator said, make sure the TC is spec'd for Nitrous, if not, on a 4800 you'll blow through the rev limiter on a 200shot.
