Need some opinions... Ok, so I finally got the TA I wanted. It has a 4L70 tranny,It has a Reverse Manual Valve Body on it. It also has a Yank Pro Thruster 4000 Stall. I had planned all along to get a lesser stall because I dont need something that high since this will be more of a street car than a track car. Which stall should I get to replace it? I was looking at the Yank Stealth 2600. Give me opinions on that and...do you think I should leave it a manual valve body or make it an automatic? Can you give me pros and cons on both?
Now go read my post about the problem I'm having with 2nd gear

Re: Need some opinions... Tell us about the rest of the mods (engine, gears, tires) and what you want to do on the street with it.
A 2600 will most likely be a huge disappointment in performance; you'll probably want to be in the 3000 - 3500 range.
BTW, Why did you get that tranny if you are not expecting to be pretty hard core about performance? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Re: Need some opinions... That was the tranny that was in it when I bought it. I also have the 4L60E, but it needs to be rebuilt. As far as mods go...
Airbox, K&N, SLP mass air unit, MMS ported Throttle body.
Shorty headers, off road y-pipe, exhaust cutout, flowmaster.
MTI custom high lift camshaft (T1), valve springs, chrome molly pushrods, titanium retainers. All installed by MTI in Houston.
Yank 4L70 heave duty race transmission with a reverse manual valve body.
Tranny cooler.
Yank thruster pro 4000 stall converter. Manual lockup.
Springs, control arms, panhard bar, torque arm, strut tower brace.
I bought the car knowing it was mostly set up for the track. The guy I bought it from said it was great to drive on the street too...and where that is true, this is going to be my daily driver and the 4000 stall eats a helluva lot of gas.

Re: Need some opinions... Gas mileage.
I'd suggest a Yank 3000 or SuperThruster 3200, and the SLP 3300. Yank's are on sale now and you may be able to trade the YTP4000 for a new Y3000 for not much out of pocket cost.
