I saw some of your youtube jpack and your car is a beast bro. If I do decide to keep my car I need to do my suspension again and brake setup. Before she hit the track. How is it with the 4.10?

It gets a little annoying on the street with the three speed at 55 mph and 3500 rpm. Better with a 28" tall tire. While it does roll higher in the rpm, I wouldn't trade the trans for anything. Best thing I have ever done.

I know this is an old posting but I was wondering if you had any low vacuum issues after your build. I purchased a used 383 out of a 95 z28 that was wrecked and I put it in my 95 z28. Don't have much info about the build but I did use the ECU out of the donor. I'm having a couple of issues, first is I'm only getting 7hg at idle for vacuum. Second issue is the donor was a manual and I have well built 4l60e in it now.
I am computer illiterate and I have to figure out how to transfer my trans program to the 383 ECU.
