Yes you have... I just have to pick one is what i meant. I like the price tag on the circle d converter and I guess im kinda on a budget so circle d for me. That was easy.

If I get a stall should I shift through the gears? 1st, shift to 2nd, shift to 3rd, or should I leave it in 3rd?

Leave it in 1st gear 24/7, no matter current speed/rpm.... Even when it is parked and you are inside sleeping,you guessed it.. ******* 1st gear.

With a stall, you will benefit more if you just leave it in OD, doing what you just said is completely useless if you have a good stall.

Also, I honestly feel kinda bad for you. I'm a few years older than you at 18, my Dad will give me great suggestions on what to do and when to do things, but overall, he doesn't give a **** because it's MY car, and it's MY hard-earned money that I'm spending on it. I would hate it if he was up my *** all the time on what mods I do to the car.

But, I'm not sure whether or not you can relate to his though because you're only 15, I'm assuming Dad is the one funding the car + mods. So, that might be a reason as to why you can't set the car up properly.

Stock converter, tci, revmaxx, yank, fti, n chance, ptc, etc etc.. None should be shifted that way with a stock 4l60e. They will all run better and lost longer leaving them in D or 3rd while racing and od or d while cruising.. depends on if you have a ta or camaro which one you will be using.

That's cool, but, part of my point was that if he was the one who initially bought the car for you to have, then that may be part of the reason as to why he's giving you such a hard time about the mods you want to purchase.

Yeah I joined this site to get info from people who know what they are talking about. Not to argue with a kid who is probably a few months older than me.
