unless it was some kind of early 93 thing that i don't know about then it has a 4l60 (not 4l60e)

4l60 was hydraulically controlled and the 4l60e is electronically controlled, hence the e at the end

The trans is a 4L60, which is a 700R4 with a different connector and extra check ball in the valve body.

Thx for the info man, i just tought it would be cheaper to do just bolt ons and n2o, But i will think about and save more money.I think i am gonna look for a 95 hopefully for about 3-5k. I will have to sleep on this. What times are all bolt ons runing? mid 12's?

has everything to do with the setup. i know of stock stall, stock cam cars that have gone 12.7, but a lot of people are still mid 13s or higher with even a decent amount of bolt ons.

suspension is key.

also since you're getting a TA, check out the thread below for information about the spoilers on TAs as they vary from the early years if that's important to u. i'd never have a TA with a molded spoiler (at least for long).

I love my 97, especially with the newer interior and gauge cluster. Besides, how many 97 formula ws6's do you know of with cloth interior and a hardtop

. ObdII is more annoying when it comes to throwing codes, but atleast i can get them scanned at any autozone if I don't have autotap with me

Technically you're wrong. They had a 4L60, not the 4L60E. It was a hydraulic tranny, basically the same as the 700R4 but GM changed the nomenclature.

if you would have read i already cleared up the 700R4/93 thing.

the t56s in 93 were available with two different gearing types dependant on which rear gears the car came with. there was a difference in first and final gear ratios. i wouldn't think that the viper would have the same input or output shafts either.

I was lazy and didnt read posts so sorry if I repeat but here is what I think... 95 is the best year.... I have a 97 btw.. But here is why... 95s have the vented opti for one thing less probs. They are obd 1 which means tuning software is WAY cheaper.. They are single cat which means its easier to take it out or cheaper for some headers. It has all the benefits of a 97 without having the obd2 pcm. If you are going to leave it stock then get a 96 or 97 if not buy a 95
