I drove my SS today with the TH-400. I was waiting on my cousin to make me brackets for the light weight seat. I finally figured out what 2 wires to splice together to make the car start. It's the blue clip with the purple and green wire in case anyone needs to know

My impression:

I need a manual valve body!!!!! the tranny is still vacumn modulated and it doesn't like me I guess cause I couldnt get the thing to shift for nothing. I kept bouncing of the limiter.

One thing for sure is, this car is gonna rip

I can tell its gonna be sick

congrats man. what converter did you end up with? i just picked up a th400 core for the spring so i'm curious how you like the new setup

 

Its a Vig 4400

 

Congrats Marco on getting it going,I was wondering how you made out
BTLFEDSS

 

Ive driven a TH350 personally and have been driven in a TH400 car that runs mid 10's on motor, its a fun trans, I just hated the fuel economy.

Get that manual valve body in asap!!

 

Sounds good Marco. Next season we'll both be in teh mid 10's....

 

Yeah it's at the point where you can't just cruise around for fun.

The car is super loud too, I need to get a magnaflow catback quick

 

how much did you spend all said and done. Did you need to do any special things to get the 400 in

 

Congrats Marco, I got a RMVB in my TH400 and its nice!

 

I was lucky enough to find someone from the board who was looking to go M6.

Only thing you need is a LS1 specific converter, cross member from BMR, and you should cut the ears off the bell housing.

It's pretty basic

 

Thanks Ashley!

Yeah I should of done it before I drove the car, but the tranny guy said he can change the valve body in the car, so I said screw it

I just couldnt wait to drive the car again

Changing the VB is cake.

You need to take me for a rip sometime to see how it drives. You had an M6 car right so no tuning? Does you're speedo work?

 

Yeah, once I get the new valvebody I'll be ready to rip

Speedo does not work but that's easy

You take the VSS sensor and the drivers side abs sensor and splice them together, then in the tune you set the rear gear ratio at 2:76 (if its a M6) set the tire size to the front wheel tire size and bam theres your speedo
