Verter is in........ I just finished putting my TCI 3000 stall in my GTO at my shop...This was a custom built 242937 SSF but to a SF stall and using TCI's billet cover/HD LU clutch.Car feels only slightly more loose pulling away from a light,maybe 300 rpm max...I havent really wacked it yet as I wanna let the LU clutch get seasoned for a few miles.
I'm running the Derale pan along with this verter that has cooling tubes in the pan to cool down the fluid under throttle...Its a nice pan made to cool the fluid about 40 degrees..I'm going to check the trans temps and if I need to run a cooler I will then install one but I have a feeling with this pan I'm going to be okay with temps.
I couldve went alittle more stall but I didnt wanna take any drivability away from my GTO and thats why I opted for the 3000....Anyone wanting to do this mod should contact Kevin Winstead at TCI Transmissions.....
Now I need to put the DR's on the car

how well does it lock-up on the highway?
What size DRs are you going to go with?
Does the car feel better from a roll?
Does it seem to shift more sloppy now?
From a stop if you nail it, does it get traction at all or is it useless?

I put a tune in it from Slowhawk which helped with the shifts,I added a 160 stat and turned the fans on sooner too.The Ltrims are hovering around 2.3 to 5.5 so they might need just a tweek but the lu is linear and is pretty nice...
I havent beat on it yet ken as I wanna unlock and lock the clutch at least 50 miles or so and then I'll nail it...U know this verters there but its not too bad compared to the stocker.I wouldnt of gone anymore stall,thats for sure.This is perfect for a bolton GTO.
I'm running Nitto 245/45/17 DR's....
