Yeah thats exactly what i was thinking. instead of blowing up a few trannys and waisting the money on those ill just get this have Don put in a safe tune and run it. And i got the word back hes got a tranny temp gauge with it. and wen he had the stall STR changed he bumped the stall speed to 3000 RPM and with my torque and numerically lower gear then he had out back i wouldnt be suprised if it stalled around 3100-3200. wich Might just be what i need i have REally low peak torque numbers now as it is and then wen i get head eventually by then ill sell this tranny off if its still in one piece and buy an FLT level 6. end of next year. im planning on dumping the guy some money soon to hold it for me for a little bit. this deal is Mine it has to be. already setup for a 1994 and everything.

Are you getting a lightweight K member? I've heard they aren't strong enough for regular street duty.

Que Pasa?!?!? No one is laying a hand on my car with any intent of Thrashing it or you will be shot!!!

and i think its only about 30 pounds Alex. and if you add the chromoly upper and lower control arms it brings to total saving on the nose to about 100 pounds. and then you can add the almost 30 pounds on each wheel for the LT1 guys if they add the LS1 brake swap too. So an LT1 can save 140-160 pounds off the nose with a k-member and full suspension. i May or may not. might not be necessary. ill see what kinda money i have left over.

I was more thinking you working on you car and the rest of the crew working on the old one making it back into a roller at the same time that way you sell the one every one else cranked on and get the bitch done in like a day or so.

Maybe. that seems doable BUT its not my garage to say everyone can be there working or just hanging out. But what i plan on doing is tear the formy apart down to bear floors on the inside and out and have that be a roller. finish the complete undercarriage. then bring the T/A up there tear that down and stuff all the goodies over into the formy. should take no more then 2 LONG weekends.
