Default Will it work?

Needs some advice guys. I just finished rebuilding my motor I put the tsp TQV2 camshaft (232 234, 595 598 114 lsa) with the springs that it came with the package. I put the 241 GM heads on. I'm goin to be running nitrous also. Unfortunally I've run short of money and I'm not going to be able to by the stall converter for it. Just need to knw if I am able to put my stock transmission back on with my stock torque converter will my car be able to drive. Shop manager is complaining that my car needs to be out of the shop. Need to know if it possible to drive my car with the stock trans until I get more money.

Your cam has nothing to do with your transmission. You can run your cam only car with a stock tranny.

Yup, you will be fine driving it with the stock converter and tranny. It will suck to drive, but it won't hurt anything.

Hmm... I have to disagree with the previous two posts. I run the Comp version of that cam in a 112 lsa, and I have to say, if it weren't for my 3200 stall it would be next to impossible to drive my car. The biggest cam you want to run on a stock stall is maybe a 228r @114 lsa.

How much do you want to spend? Also where are you from?

If he is just trying to get it out of the guys shop, then he should be able to. It's going to be a bitch to drive, but he should be able to get it home.

Great entry-level converter. Definitely will work with what you have. They're located here in Houston too.

Also, don't forget to get a good trans cooler. An 18k+ btu one should suffice. I splurged and got the 29.2k btu one. It works great, but the thing is HUGE!!!
