Auto improvment

[fonz185]

Hey Blokes. I was thinking of tickling up my auto a bit. I wanna run transgo shift kit, corvette sevo, 2500 or 3000rpm stall and 3.7's. Donk is stock for the moment (will eventually 355 and reasonable cam). I like converters cos they sound sweet and of course its gonna bark the tyres up easier.. Is it gonna be an any good combo to drive? Anyone got similar?
Oh yeah, its in a 5ltr VS Grange by the way.

all sounds good but 3000 might be a bit high, standard is about 1700 so 2500 would be a bit better. Then again you might like it, stalls go hand in hand with cams, wherever your max power curve ends up with the cam, the stally get you to those revs instead of building up to it through the lower revs and having a sluggish low end take off.

3:7's have nothing to do with your trans, they are diff gears.

Go: Beast reaction shell, kevlar bands etc, shift kit, small stally, upgrade the clutches and get a rebuild at the same time if you can afford it. I'm waiting to do all that shit to my trans until i can afford the rebuild at the same time. Nice fresh trans with a heap of good bits will run real nice.

i realize the 3.7's are not the auto!!! I just though i'd say about them because of the stall. Is it gonna be a pain to drive with a 3000 stall and 3.7s?

[Cobez]

Nah should be alright. Just remember your speedo will be out after putting 3:7's in the diff, so you will need to buy a speedo corrector, and solder that in too.

Personally, i'd do the engine first, so then you can throw the 3000 stally in and it will be sweet. 3000 stally might be a little high for an internally stock 304 as said up above.

Do the engine, then throw a 3000 stally in with the trans rebuild etc.

if your going to the effort of pulling an auto apart put the steel apply pistons in and the pinless accumulators, along with of course a beast reaction shell and etc, etc as Cobez has said.

I would be looking carefully at what frictions (Clutch pack) you select too since your going to run a stally and I assume eventually you want to be running a fairly grunty eight.

Dont bother with a kevlar band unless you replace the band shell as well, I prefer Carbon bands but thats just me.

P.S

Get a bearing kit too, they are cheap as chips and its cheap insurance.
