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?

bigger cam, th350/400, 4000+ converter, nitrous!

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.

I was running 11.1s @ 122mph with mid-high 1.5x 60's, then added a boat-ton of suspension pieces and a tire change, which instantly vaulted me into the 10.80s with 60's in the low-mid 1.4s.

Suspension, suspension, suspension.

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!
