I bit the bullet Ordered a new yank pt4400 stall today. They told me I should have it by early next week. Hopefully I can get it installed for some TNT next Saturday. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
So who wants to buy a slightly used ST3800 for $650? <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">

Re: I bit the bullet Terry,
i think your the 1st guy at carlsbad thats gonna have that verter. i just hope it hooks there <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> (even with your hoosiers) Congrats on the choice, im sure your gonna luv it.
Do u think your gonna be able to 'notice' a difference 'RPM wise' driving around town? Will it feel THAT much more loose?

Re: I bit the bullet I have the TCOM system, so I will set the converter to be locked most of the time. I don't think it will be that bad around town. I'm hoping it will give me the power to get my 60' times from the 1.60 range to 1.50. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0"> That should be worth 1.5ths!

What do you mean by most of the time, if it is more than in 3rd and 4th it will wear the TC way sooner than needed. Locking in 4th over 45-50 is a good idea and will drive stock until you lay into it.
But locking it in the lower gears is not good, and especially at WOT.
Just wondering.

Re: I bit the bullet I just leave it locked for any speed over 35mph. It manages locking/unlocking during shifts and such. Works well for me. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
RE: the new motor, I'm not sure yet. Trying to run 10s on the stock shortblock is kinda fun for now. <img src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" border="0">
