i would think you should be trapping higher than that though......definately need to work on that 60' though.......i was considering going today myself but since i've been busy all week with my car i decided to just chill today.....i'll probably go next friday though.....i really wanted to get my 3.73's put in before i hit the track but for some reason they couldn't change the pcm settings for them....so i've got to figure that out.....

Transmission and stall went in without too much fuss. I parked the 'bird until Wednesday because I got a little concerned about the fluid temp. I bypassed the factory tranny cooler and used the one that came with the transmission. Temps got up to the 190 area. So I ordered a B&m stacked plate cooler. Apparently there are two schools of thought on if you should just rely on the external cooler, or run both the stock and external. So I am considering running both and see how that goes..

I have my tranny fluid going from my radiator and then external cooler that I have on the front of my radiator and then back to the tranny. I'm not sure what the temp on the tranny fluid is running at, I need to hook up a gauge

I know the noisy gear drives are pretty loud. Never heard the quiet ones. Wein, can you post an idle vid? Maybe a vid of you taking off or accelerating? Goose, your on the right track with the cooler. When I did my swap I used the big b&m cooler with a fan.
