I don't take false information lightly... You are potentially spending someones hard earned money and time every time you post information. If I post something, it is something I know is correct with multiple tests/track passes/dynos/etc etc to back it. Not something I saw one time on a buddies car or my own car and post it as fact.
I post stuff I know, you two were posting stuff you think you know about with very little actual experience or research on the topics.. That is the difference and that is why I seem "mad". I would be very upset if I came on this web site as a noob and read some of your posts and made my decision based on them.
You think it is odd that the moderator and me of this forum (new ls1 owners) agree with each other 99.9% of the time and often have extremely similar views/posts/etc on topics? But I am out in left field with my posts I guess.

Anybody reading it would have taken it the same way I did.
If I was wrong, I was wrong... But that is all I have to go from.
Maybe, judging from that post this post and your initial post that started this, the way you post or the way I perceive it are off... I obviously am not getting the reaction from your posts you are meaning to convey.

All I had to go off was that one post... And going from that post, it seemed like you knew little to nothing about how a 4l60e works with a larger torque converter.

so what your tellin me is that my intitial advice to wendysue to get a set of headers for a daily driver that dosnt see a track vs a stall on a stock car is wrong or incorrect ? just by going by numbers i threw out that had no bearing on the intial advice ? i know how a coverter works i can tell you every moving part inside of it and what it does mabey i should have been more accurate with numbers but it dosnt change the fact that non of my advice was wrong or inccorect in any way ?
It sounded to me like you thought a 3000 converter wouldn't start really moving until 3000 RPMs, which in reality would drive close to stock... A normal pick up could be achieved at 1400-1600RPMs pretty easily, 2000+ and you would be leaving traffic from a red light.
Regardless of what the initial posts said... You cleared it up.
Can you!?

I'm such an *** hole.. I'll help someone just as quick as I will do this.
Funny thing, probably not the last time my advice/input/etc will help you out in some way.... And you post things like this towards me.
You kept it going with Slohawk, why can't I with you?

No, I was talking about the gears VS converter with an ET Reduction. And an auto, gears won't even pick up half of what a small converter would pick you up.

i agree with you alls i was meaaning to say is that for a daily driver with 60o bucks in his pocket headers are a much better choice for a street daily driver .. lets just let all this go i dont want bad blood buddy i didnt mean for this to go this far my apologies .. we cool ?
I can't own a stock converter automatic... I'd take a manual 10 times over one (notice what I have for a DD). However, with a converter.... Nothing is more fun IMO.
The FIRST mod I would do to an auto is a converter, before a lid, intake, exhaust, etc... My buddy listened to me and went with a PTC 4000, had another went with a PTC 3600... They pissed off a lot of stock converter bolt on guys with their "Stock" cars.
7.7s in a 98 Trans am with exhaust only is pretty good... 3600#, stock ls1 intake, stock 2.73s, etc etc.. No tune. Da was around 2500+, not a DA I would love to see. Nothing makes an auto car more fun IMO and nothing will give the performance gains.
Hope to see you stick around and good luck with your motor swap.. If you need anything gimme a shout.

Not a problem and anytime with the MAF... Once you have a good working one in there, you really shouldn't have any more issues unless something physically breaks, which makes it mechanically not function properly.

Listen to Lemon, he didn't make an 'opinion' post, he made a factual one. A stalled auto is faster than a geared only auto. End of post.
If the OP wants to have a slower, louder car, go headers!

All I know is I see A4 guys with only lids and catbacks + a convertor and they're mostly running mid to high 12's, which makes me super jelly in my belly because it's going to take me lid, CB, headers, AND great driving to get mid 12's in my M6 :-( And for that reason alone along with everything I've ever heard about A4 LS1's, my recommendation goes to a stall. However, if you just cruise around and want to look and sound good with little concern about speed, go for the headers.
