Default Thanks for the work Slowhawk.

Copying this from the Automatic transmission section, I'm tired
-----------------------
Don from Dez Racing installed a 4,000 Peformabuilt stall (custom built a bit) with a few other toys. The car is so much quicker. It feels like my old Camaro SS when it had a cam.

We got it to lock up driving around at 39 to 40 mph (this is in D, not OD). This was all tuned around a 2.73 10 bolt. We are going to get a 3.42 10 bolt and we think we can get it to lock up/drive even better.

Oh and as expected the tires blow themselves off the car. I installed Kooks, Kook cat'd y-pipe, plugs, lid n filter and had the car tuned. My Magnaflow, gauges n pod and all kinds of other stuff didnt show up so there is a little more left to be installed. With the cats the car is damn quiet no one suspects a thing until you roll into it and the harder you get into it the more the tires light up. It's funny, even when your on it you can have the windows down at 6,000 rpm and it's still not loud. People think the car is really that quick stock haha.

Performabuilt so far rocks from my experience. Makes you want to go N/A, get a decent cam and install a 5,000 stall. These things are wicked fun.

Thanks again Don. You did some really slick work on my car. My tires dont thank you but I do

Joe, try to get ahold of a deep TCI +2qt. finned alum. trans. pan. Your transmission and converter will love you for it. That converter is generating some serious heat, and even w/a external cooler, the extra oil capacity is needed. The TCI pan acts just like ANOTHER cooler. Best wishes w/your set-up. WJ

I might have a good set of 3:42's and axles since I have two lying here. I'll check tonight. You basically could just use the ring and pinion right?
