Default SS4000 is in!!!!

First off, my car is bone stock with LT's, ORY, and cat back and has 2.73 gears. I had Outlaw Motorsports install a yank SS4000 to help with the performance of the vehicle.

Along with the stall, Outlaw also installed a TCI flexplate, B&M Deep trans pan, and a B&M trans cooler.

Left the shop and took it easy for the first ummmmm 5 minutes. Took it on a side street and hit it, the car moves alot better. What I thought was funny is between the end of first gear and 100 mph, it seemed the RPM's never dropped below 5K RPM's.

Before I could never even spin the MT et radials (Thanks to the 2.73 gear) and now I can burn them a little.

I will be going to the track this Sunday to get an updated time, unfortuneatly it will be off a g-tech because the late owners son took all the timing equipment from the track so no times will be available. Last g-tech times were 13.51, track times are 13.41-13.43.

The only thing that sucks is driving around town, but that is just the nature of the beast. I just want to say I thank god for lock-up converters. All in all, I can't wait for the gear and cam for next year.

Oh, and it sounds ******* amazing when driving away.

Get some 3:73's in the rear and that will solve that problem.
