ARE 404ci and Incon TT... Looks like I am going to be inheriting Rob Raymer's ARE 404ci longblock. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" />
I am also in the process of upgrading from my current set of twins to the larger GT2837s.
Any guesses on what kind of power I will make on 15psi? <img border="0" alt="[evil]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_devil.gif" />

Re: ARE 404ci and Incon TT... Yep, thru a TH400 w/o lockup.
I am also going to try a variable pitch converter in the TH400...2400 on the street and 3400 off of the trans brake.
The car should also be pretty streetable with the larger cid to make up for the lower compression, and the GV overdrive for cruising <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: ARE 404ci and Incon TT... I predict ~800+/-rwhp if were talking about a dynojet number. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_images/icons/tongue.gif" />

Re: ARE 404ci and Incon TT... Really??? That's wierd, Rob always wrote right back to my questions...there is another guy that is selling a brand new ARE 409 motor in the classifieds right now, it looked pretty similar.
Might want to check it out.

Re: ARE 404ci and Incon TT... With as much hp as you are shooting for I personally would like at a Precision or Neal chance converter.. I don't think a switch pitch is going to live through that hp.
Can't wait to hear the dyno numbers I am guessing 775 rwhp and 850 rwtq <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Re: ARE 404ci and Incon TT... Yeah, I am not too sure how the converter is going to work either...it is what the guy that put my trans together wanted me to run. I think that he picked it because the car is heavy and I told him that I was going to do a lot of street driving with the car.
Since I am new to the automatic game, what would you experienced automatic guys recommend for a converter and stall?
The switch pitch converter is also a 12" verter. which I know is heavy and not ideal for racing, so I am going to lose a little their. But, I have been reading on the VP converters and I do think that I will pick up some mph if I connect the switch to the trans brake and leave on the 3400 stall, and then make the rest of the pass with the 2400.
Like I said, I am new to the automatic game...so advice here would be really helpful. Keep in mind that I am going to try the switch pitch converter behind my current stock shortblock 346 combination before I put Rob's motor in.
Thanks,
Scott
