From my past experience the best transmission shop in North Alabama is B & L transmission in Muscle Shoals Alabama. I have had them to build me auto's and manual's. Never had a minutes trouble A1 in my book!!!!!!!!!

Not worth the money and trouble.

youra_joke

ok what do you think would be a good power adder thats not going to coast a arm n a leg

jdiddyws6

How much is an arm and a leg worth to you, and how fast do you want to go?

youra_joke

my fastest time was a 13.5 in a 1/4 i would like to run 12's and i'm fixing to get a good bit of money back off a law suit where i broke my back at work and i wanted to know what would get me there with out spending 10 grand i don't want to do to much where its not a street car cause i love to get in an drive i don't wanna make a trailer car out of it

Converter and tires.

youra_joke

i thought about cam and head's but i was told that to do it right i need to rebuild my motor and that could take a month i don't know how true that is

youra_joke

i have mickey thompson slicks. What would be the best converter and should i get one that's locked or open?

About as true as an under drive pulley being worth it. Miles? Oil consumption?
For a stock cam and weight, anywhere from a 3500-4000

youra_joke

it just hit 119,000 it doesn't use or leak no oil

Should be fine. Put some rod bolts in if you bump the power way up or turn some rpm's.

youra_joke

so i could put cam an heads on with out rebuilding my whole motor thanks for your help to i'm glade i found a site that loves camaros and ls motors like i do

You could, but it's gonna be a turd without a converter and probably will hurt the stock trans pretty fast. Then you'll be in the whole some money. Even on a budget setup probably 4k for h/c built trans and converter. However, it would be an 11 second car.

youra_joke

that's fine with me as long as i don't have to trailer it to steel track and can still get in an go is so much fun to drive i had a 2000 white t-tops that my wife has now but there's nothing like the ls1 an 4k not that bad that's something i can live with

Well a budget head is the 243. After that I'd say the prc 2.5 5.3 heads. That plus a torquer cam makes a good street setup with about 450whp. Rod bolts, turn it to 6500ish, and a 3500 converter had better get it off in the 11's.

youra_joke

thanks i think this is the set up i'm going to go with i could always add rods ect ect.. on down the road if i wanted more power

Honestly, you might as well build a motor on the side if you want to get in the internals. Do it on the side, and do a 4.000 or larger bore so you have expanded head options
