I'm a pretty big fan of you car Curt. I've seen the youtube videos almost 20 times. i was just wondering though what do you think of your th400? how often do you drive it? what gear & tire size?

 

Thanks man. I dont DD it but i take it out almost every night if its nice. The th400 isn't bad with the 3.42's and should be even better when I get my converter back from being tightened. I think a 4l80 would be the way to go if you can swing it though. 3.42's and 325/50/15 mickey dr's.

 

yeah i was looking at the fastest list and th400 seems to be dominating it. the car isnt really my dd we are pretty much the same as i drive it when its nice...

 

Went up to Slowhawks dyno day today. The car put out 833/687 spinning the tires on pump gas and around 16psi. The only changes in my setup were a new converter and different gears and picked up over 110whp on the same dyno. Drove the car 200 miles round trip on this same boost/tune with zero problem and car ran flawless. Big thanks to Dave@Yank for a awesome converter and Don@Slowhawk Performance for a killer tune.

That is awesome! What converter was it previously?

 

Thanks. It had a Yank 3800 9.5" before.

 

Thats pretty damn stout man! Lovin' it!

 

wow very nice gians..
are you planning to taking it back to 1/4?

 

The converter definitely woke up the car. Gained 100+tq too.

One of the nicest builds I've seen.

 

what gears did you go with?

 

How's the fast intake working out?

 

Thanks guys.

Going this weekend if the weather is good.

3.42's

No problems so far.

 

Wow is all I can say!! Thanks for the detailed writeup and consistent postings.

 

Could you post a graph with rpm increments please? Thanks

 

Looks like your running the stock radiator ... Any problems or reasons you would consider goin to a griffin

 

Nitrous, I only have the graph in mph, sorry.

Ultraz, I have never had an overheating issue. Stock radiator/fans is the way to go. I think the main reason people switch is because the setup is so big and hard to fit with a big turbo.

 

Totally awesome guys, can't wait to see it go down the track again.

 

Wow, you picked up that much power at the same boost level?? That S88 is putting some good #'s out through that auto tranny and only 16psi. Sweet

 

Yeah pretty much the same boost. It was 15 before but I think the tighter converter is loading it more. Can't imagine what it would do on 20+ lbs.

 

I would LOVE TO KNOW
