    Took me about 4 hours, on the floor, just pull the trans out then pull the old convertor off and put the new one on and then but it back in, it just makes the car punch off like a bit better plus it keeps the revs up in second alot more.

    At around 105, which is what I normally sit at, it revs at around 2400, with the standard 3.08 it was around 2000, so bit of an increase.

    Yeah I plan on putting mine in myself also, not hard to undo 8 bolts (I think it's 8) then take the heavy ass stall off lol.

    600 I'll look into it.. I should shift kit it at the same time lol..

    There's a few more then 8 haha, you have to take the starter off, (just undo the 2 bolts holding it to the housing) tail shaft and few other things, and the shift kit is a bit harder you have to drill holes in your valve body lol
