help me pick?You decide.
help me pick?You decide. I am looking to buy a stall in a couple of days.So far here are my choices.2800 yank(special),Fuddle 3200or 3400 2.1,or the Tci st3000.This car is a DDriver.It will be on street tire.Im just tired of the dead spots of this 2.73 gearing.I want my shift extensions to be 3800-4000 rpm.I just keep hearing bad things on Tci and Fuddle lately.I dont want my transmission to take a ****.I would be happy to loose .3 or .4 tenths.I only want to spend less than $470 and these stalls are on my budget.The car in the future will only have pt body,pulley,ls6 manifold,and maybe the ZO6 cam and thats it.
If you want a 4000RPM shift extension then you want
a 3000-range stall speed. The Fuddle 3500 I have now
puts me to 5000 or so. The TCI 3000 I used to have,
was lower (duh). The TCI gained me not much at all
in ET because my launch is for **** with 3.23s or the
3.42s I have now, and street rubber. With 2.73s you
may be more able (too able?) to hook.
"Dead spots in the gearing" are largely a matter of the
stock tune part throttle shiftpoints being stupid. You
ought to look into tuning, maybe just hook up with
someone local who can cover or add your vehicle to
do the basics for trans tuning. Converters will "cover"
some "dead spots" but getting them double-gone is
even better.
Given what you think you want for shift extension you
probably want to rething what you might ask of Fuddle,
like maybe a 3000/2.x build. But then, a stock converter
will hit about a 4000RPM bottom from 6000 at top of
gear so you're really not asking much of a converter.
You might want to refine the model in your mind before
refining selection.
