TREX and auto tranny??
TREX and auto tranny?? Who all is running a TREX with a auto tranny? I am considering this cam with my next motor and will be going to a TH350 and 410 rear end. 28" tire also. Is this a good cam for a auto car? It will be just for drag. Stock heads.
Thanks.
Thanks.

Im doing the exact same setup right now, just getting started though, so far I have the cam worked out, still need everything else.
Reason Im posting, and reason Im doing this setup, I had a buddy still running a 4L60E with a 4200 stall with a Trex. He had a few bolt ons and was running on stock suspension in his 98 TA and made a 7.30 pass all motor with this setup in the 1/8. Im not sure what gear he was on, maybe a 3.73
Ive been running a G5X2 and 4.10 gears so far with an M6, so this will be a big change for me as well. Good luck with the swap.

Brett Foote 7.30 with the trex and a 4200 stall is pretty slow really juiced, there's cars all over at full weight going 7.10s-.20s with smaller cams and the same size converters, my old personal setup included.

I think you are right, just wanted my story to be believable, I know how the critics are on here. He was for a fact on a completely stock suspension, nothing under the car changed at all, that pass was on BFG DR's, car went low 6's on spray. Car had a lid, Long Tubes, and a cutout. 7.30 was the best pass all motor and that was moving pretty good where I live.

4500 would be a great area for that cam, but anyone wanting to run something like a yank pt4200 with that cam and the right setup would be SICK. i ran a yank pt4200 with a "similar" cam and it was NASTY.... would it have been meaner with a pt4600? who knows
I have a 4000 stall and a Trex but they are uninstalled right now. My car's a daily driver and will be NA. I have been debating on sending my stall back in to be set a little higher (4200-4400). I just don't want to have a totally unstreetable setup. Not to hijack the thread, but will I HATE daily driving a 4400 stalled car?

wouldn't like about my car is the no overdrive part, not the big stall. I have 4.10 gears so i had to put 31" all terrain tires on the back just to get my 70 mph cruising rpm down to 3,500. With the 4.10's and 31's it the same as stock tires and 3.42's.Seriously though if you had no idea what stall i had iand i let you drive my car around i bet $$$ you would guess it was a 4,000 stall.
Hmmm. It is SO tempting to call the guys at Fuddle and send my converter back in to be restalled to 4400. I was looking forward to getting everything installed this week but I guess I may have to wait.
