What's next? I've been wanting to post this for awhile but I don't really have the money to continue my build right away. Anyhow, I was wondering what sine of u gooroos would suggest doing next. I've got a 94 z with a mildly built 4l60e. The engine is a forged 383 with AI TFS heads and their small cam, the 228. What I'm looking for, is suggestions on what to do next. In the never ending quest for power, I never quit changing and upgrading. What do u guys think? |

Good idea on the trans. I never drive this car. So drive-ability doesn't mean much to me. |

To the guys that have done the swap, how much of a performance gain was it? And how bad is it to drive? |
A TH350/400 has less of an rpm drop from first to second but has a worse first gear. If you have a good 4L60E I would not jump on that bandwagon just yet. Could consider a solid roller but that will likely mean sending the heads back to set them up. What is the rest of the car setup? |
Subframes, LCAs, Torque Arm, STOCK 10 Bolt. Long tubes with true dual setup. Has pretty much all boltons. I recently purchased a few things for later on, a kmember/manual rack and converted SP/Accel TB. I've done some weight reduction too. Car ran consistent 11.50s. |
I would probably do the axle next unless you plan on something that launches soft like a turbo. |
STOCK 10 bolt? It's time for a 12 bolt or a 9", along with a bigger cam and higher stall. Probably adjustable LCA's and Torque Arm (unless yours are already adjustable), more drag suspension! |
I know it. They're just too dam expensive. I forgot to mention I have an edge converter |
You already have a good motor, so I would concentrate more on suspension and the rear axle (assuming you're building this motor for the strip - you don't really indicate what you're looking for). |
Oh yea its 90% strip car. Gets drove maybe a thousand miles a summer. |
I may be greedy but 10s on motor is what I want. |
Then do a 12-bolt/9"/S60 now. Nothing else whatsoever. |

Wow, very impressive. I guess I'm giving up to easy on my setup. Was kinda leaning towards more weight reduction and a cam. I can't do a reared right now though. Just too much for me. What else would u suggest? Perhaps some QA1s? |
If I were you, I'd seriously consider putting whatever money you have intended on spending now into a "rear end fund jar." Don't spend a thing! |
LOL, k I notch |
Gotcha* |
BOOOOOOOST lol, I'd say a stronger rear before you snap the 10 bolt:chug: |
