Sounds like a great setup. Is it the level 2 or 3. I am getting a level 2 shortly. Sounds like it drives good around town.

Yeah I went w/ the level 2. Can't beat it for the $. The level 3 is only rated for 100rwhp more and it shifts a little more aggresive cruising.

I'm pretty happy, I can't beleive how fricken tight the converter is, it's gonna be a bitch hooking at the track.

Knowing how tight it is I would of went with a 4500, but I think it will work out well on a small shot.

I have the same tranny sitting in my garage. It will probably go in tomorrow or thursday night. I've been too damn busy to get the damn thing installed. I'm sticking with my Yank SS4000 converter though.

I know, I'm scared to death for my rear. I'll probably take it easy this year and wait for the rear swap next year. Maybe the end of the season somebody can let me borrow some 16" ET streets and I'll see what happens.

Good deal Dan. Sounds like you'll be having a lot of fun this season! How about a cage??

You can handle an ET Street!! Hell I'll let you borrow mine if there's anything left on them when you're ready!!! Not to mention bro, I have the GTO with Sweet IRS and a two piece drive shaft!!

26 x 11.5 x 17"




Gonna be a fun season for me too!

Haha, well see Speedy.

GM Muscle is on a 10bolt, but he's got Moser Axles, a diff swap, and TA cover, stuff like that.

Not to mention 2.73 are a lot stronger than a gear like 3.73's and a little stronger than 3.23's.

As my car sit's now, I can destroy a pinion seal on just a couple track trips. 1.6's is pushing that bone stock rear.
