373 stalled auto w/4l60e = 2450 rpm @ 70 mph.

something like 2200 @ 60..

Driveability is all in the eyes of the driver... The TREX cam makes crazy power, but it seems a little too "Cammy" IMO.

I am debating between the MS3 and the F15 (Ron Jeremy) cam.

I think you can tell fairly well by hearing the car and reading the gauges. Couldn't hurt...

The converter will lock up in 4th, gearing dictates rpm.

I don't have a dog....Well actually I do, but she is in Mississippi. Guess I should have took a vid when I went home for X-Mas 8hrs on skinneys

I do agree though that drivability is very dependent on the tune. Hell I thought I had a good tune (benn driving on it for a year), but someone is actually helping me fine tune the "low speed drivability" and it's actually getting a hell of a lot better

I think the best way to find out is to do it and see what happens
Thats what Im doing.. got 4.10 in.. yank 4400 stall, bolt ons, built 4l60e.
Only problem is ... my rear end is still a 10bolt so I dont know wtf will happen when ill try to launch on 28x11.5 M/ts. Now just new dual springs, rods, lifters etc. and t-rex v2 with dyno tune. I will post as soon as its all done and let You guys know how does it drive.

Does a trex work well with a stall converter that is less than 4,000 rpm stall speed? I've been thinking about getting a stall and cam later on down the road, and the trex is definately one of my top choices. My car isn't a daily driver, but when I do take it out, I don't want driving to be a hassle.
