Cool new combo any advice?

I have just had my Yank PE 4200 stall,FLP long tube header's with a Hutto custom 3" X pipe to bullets installed but have yet to get it tuned by CmarshZ but once I do what new best should be realistic and where do a foot brake the stall to and what tire pressure should I set the BFG 275-40's at? and even without the tune this car is a monster!!!!

Are those the only mods you have or do you have others? What is your raceweight? Are the BFGs drag radials? I have a Yank PT4400 with most of the boltons, stock cam, heads, and pulley, and have gone 11.89 @ 113 on a drag radial in +2000 DA.

yea those are all the mods I have, raceweight is probably full weight except spare tire,jack,and front sway bar? they are BFG extreme II DR's on stock 02' WS6 wheels, and yes stock block,heads,cam and I hope to run close to that! how does your car street wise with that big of a stall????

I would start out the DRs at 18psi and work your way down from there. I run 15psi in my MT DRs, but my car weighs 3050. As far as foot brake vs flash, you have to play around with your launch at the track and see what the car likes better. Every car is different.

My car is fine on the street with the 4400. I daily drive it without any problems. It has magnaflow mufflers dumped off the collectors, so it is loud even with the stock cam, but it is bareable; and I have no power steering nor A/C. Those are the things people always ask about more than the big stall. It is all up to you on what you can put up with. I am going to a full ET Drag and a 4.10 gear in the back, and I will still drive it on the street.

My suggestion to you though is to get a tune for it right away. You're gonna need the PCM to be tweaked to get the most out of that converter. The torque management and low shift points from the factory will kill your E.T. I shift my car at 6300. Hope this helps.
