im getting longtube headers and probably a comp cam 218-224, but im not going to be able to afford a stall yet, would i notice pretty good gains with just the cam and headers, and is that cam a good choice

 

I have a small stall you can have from $150 plus shipping...it's just a lil 2800....

 

get longtube headers and stall before the cam. also make sure thats the cam you really want and 2800 stall would be good for that cam.

 

what kind of stall is it

 

do you have to buy a trans cooler when you get a stall

 

yes you do

 

jays97 t/a...sent you a PM

 

It's a PATC Super Street Raptor 2800......been a good Verter for me...

 

how many miles are on the t/c? im really interested

 

would a B&M Holeshot 3000 converter be to much for my car, ill have longtube headers, cai, cutout with flowmaster, pcm4less tune, and im stil not sure if ill have enough money for a cam so lets say without a cam

 

about 1k at the most....damn car has been up on Shop lifts more than I have drove it..

 

Do you have any gears?

 

yea i have 3.42

 

hmm, well it's better than 3.23s but definitely not as good as 3.73's which would be a great combo with the converter. you can get by with the 3.42's but you won't get the full potential until you change the gears.

 

Get the stall first.
I went from 3.23 to 3.73 with no change to the combo other than a tune for the gears. Time improvement = .2
Headers & full 3" cat back = 0 (with 3.73's)
Gears from 3.73 to 3.42 time improvement = .5 (currently at 13.69 with a stock converter)
Currently have a 2800 converter waiting for my lazy butt to work on it (and not have to work 60+ hours in a week, including 3+hours on the road back&forth).
A converter should give more gains than the small cam or the headers provided you can get traction. I can't use long tubes here otherwise, they would be on the car

 

If you get a stall get a name brand like vig or yank, and if you cant afford a new one get a used one like this.

im going to be driving most in town, so i would want a 2200 stall because im not going to race it that much, will my car still be reliable with that stall

 

well ive been reading a lot about the stalls and i dont think im going to get one because they seem to be pretty hard on your trans and i have 110000 on mine. is there any cam out there i can put in my car that will make alittle more hp, without buying a stall,

 

Get a lockup converter around 3k and you wont even notice it until you step on the gas. As far as it being hard on the trans the biggest problem is the heat it builds when you kick it in the ***. Put in a tranny cooler and that will take care of the heat.

Talk to the guy from performabuilt about it and he can answer all your questions. I think there are more guys on here that actually deal in these but he is the one I can think of.

 

do the guys at performabuilt have good converters
