need more low end torqe

[grippper]

would a 2600 stall converter make a difference. car has plenty of top end.just dont shift down sometimes when i need it too.

Torque converter will make a world of difference. Gears would help, too.

 

[Realmongo]

Gearing is a big issue with the AOD since low gear is not all that low. They usually respond well to 3.73:1 or even 4.10:1 ratios.

 

[Topdowncruise]

Your cam seems to be compromising some of your low end torque in your AOD setup;so if you are planning to keep that cam, looking at the torque converter would make sense.

yah i would say go with a high stall. That being said do not go with a off the self generic high stall. If you order a custom built TCI high stall you can easily get away with a 3200 and not have it a very noticible thing at all. The b&m off the self Torque convertors are crap. My bro in law has a custom built High stall for his hot rod and you don't really even know he has one. No nasty leaving the stop light chirps for no reason. An with a AOD i would go with 4.10 gears.

He has 3:73 gears guys - in his sig.

I ran a 3,000 stall with 4:10s and it drove away from a stop sign like a stocker.

Might I also recommend that you upgrade the tranny cooler as well. I don't know how good the 5.0's tranny cooler is, but it couldn't hurt. Higher stall will generate more heat in day to day driving.

i run a 3000stall converter. dont waste your time with anything less than 3000-3200

 

[grippper]

thanks for the reply's. i went with a PTC lockup converter 3,000 to 3,200 stall. ill let you what i think this summer when i get it in.

 

[rsw007]

is that a custom converter or a off the shelf converter. stay custom to your car.

 

[srothfuss]

suprised no one said anything about a KennyBell

 

[IntenseBlue]

I said a blower.

in the actions of my right hand......stroke it!

grippper - your heads flow ~230cfm and your intake flows ~ 205-210cfm, so you might think about porting the lower if you have it off at any time.

Ask Kdubslugga, he just put in a 3000 stall and posted his comments on it over in the talk section. Apparently it's night and day difference.

 

[grippper]

how much would it cost to have a lower intake ported. what does custom built actualy mean, i called ptc and told him what i had on the car.he said a 3,000 to 3,200 stall. and that he would have to build it. he also said that it will work great with my cam.very good cam.

 

[grippper]

after i get the torque converter in i have to start reenforcing the frame on this car. i have the subframe connectors. just need someone to weld them in. what about torx box renforcement what is a good kit. also do they need to be welded in.

 

[tmoss]

The lower torque box kits are bolt-in, it would be hard to weld them in due to the fact they slip into the existing boxes and there is no room in there to weld. The upper kits can be welded.

 

[rsw007]

i have welded uppers and these lower beef ups http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/79-1...040358094QQcategoryZ33583QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

TMOSS can port your lower intake go to hiss site. I think its 110 $ plus shipping. I hear he's one of the best.
