Auto indeed ,CAI, SCT Xcal, 75mm t/b and plenum, catted prochamber, SLP loudmouth, 4.10s And crappy hard tires that didnt hook worth a damn. And I think I had a exhaust leak but still not sure on that. No traction....and I still havent installed my UD's yet. 13.8 by myself .I ran a 14 flat with a passenger

If you added Longtubes, those pulley's and like a 2800Stall convertor what do you think you could run? I'm interested because with your mods and the ones I just listed that's what im having and I'm hoping for mid-low 13's

Autos are fine... we all have some 5spd envy though. I want to row my own gears simply because I get bored.... however my SCT tune will hold them till the motor blows (unlike the stock tune that will protect itself) so I have some manual control for when I get bored or when I need it.

Get yourself a stall converter, cooler, j-mod, and if you're hardcore enough a manual valve body and you'll forget what a stick shift is.

3200 stall dont go lower than 3000........Low 13's on some drags if you dont have drags your gonna spin easy as that. 13.2-13.3 range I think.

I need a tranny cooler before next summer....real bad

whitethunder46 12-21-2005 06:45 PM

Why do you say 3200? My tuner said 2800, but he just threw that number out, we didnt really discuss it. My mods are in my sig, but next spring I'm doing Tb/Plenum, u/d pulleys, a stall convertor, 4.10s and a tranny cooler also.

Well, you sit on the brake and the throttle untill you feel it wants to go, when its time to break free just get off the brake and floor it.

oh yah, it isnt a slow accelleration either. My GT auto launches like a rocket, zero spinning unless the road is wet, hits about 300 past redline when WOT then shifts, pulls right into the powerband and surges forward. Its great! A very good racer could probably smoke me a good amount of time with the same car done in stick, but yer average run-of-the-mill street racer cant outdo the stock GT auto tranny.
Get the J-mod and a good tune and it will take a very very good driver to beat it.

still not as much fun as stick, but the GT auto tranny really kicks ass, most economical automatics have a very nice and polite tranny, the GT's auto tranny is all about performance, but once again, its a machine, a human controlled manual will always have the POTENTIAL of beating it consistantly.

I've always been told that you wont feel less than a 3200 stall.

m0nkeh 12-21-2005 07:00 PM

High-stall converters allow the motor to launch the car at a higher rpm where more torque is available. Too much stall speed can be bad to performance. Because stall speed is slippage, excessive stall amounts can equal slower e.t.and add heat to the tranny. The GT motors have a more power at higher rpms than most other V8's 3200 just seems to be the right stall in my opinion. To be honest thats just what I would do. 2800 is just a bit low sine our power is in the higher RPM's.

By the way if you do the 4.10's first do the tranny cooler with it, it's cheap and will save your tranny life. mine overheats a bit thank god its winter.

Theres 2 ways flash the tranny meaning dont floor it untill the last amber light and that works for me with my 4.10's when i'm not loosing traction. Or you can hold the brake untill the tires are about to spin and then let go of the brake when its time that worked well with stock gears. The 4R70 is a great tranny with the right building of it.

m0nkeh 12-21-2005 07:10 PM
