you and i got the same mods pretty much, but im on gas with a ic and 3.2. once you drop under a 3.4 your never putting the 3.4 back on. a 3.0-3.2 the power level is turned up to an addicting amount of power lol

LMAO! thats what I was worried about! building this car has truly become some what of an obsession! Im sure there is a thread on here, but since I have your attention I will ask. Trust me Im a geek when it comes to this stuff now, so upgrading the 1" chain with the gear conversion kit, and a bigger convertor than stock, Would that give my tranny a bit more grrr to it?!? enough that I can have a little peice of mind? Im not taking this thing to the track, honestly I get on it every now and then but mainly just like to unleash it once in a while. I like it being a sleeper if you will, I dont run it that hard, that often. I just have seen the built 4t65e-hd trannys for sale....and yeah dropping 2k doesn't sound like alot of fun, and again you guys are great man! wonderful community with this forum, so agian thank you guys so much for the input.

rule one is no burn outs. that will kill your tranny quick. its not the spinning, but the suddon stop of the burn out that will snap parts on you.

also the 3-1 shifts, if you hammer it and down shift into first hard a lot, bye bye input shaft. ive broke the wheels free and smoked them at 30 mph by accident passing some tool bag. i think i showed him lol never did that again either, dont want to.

Like I said I never drive it that hard, manly let it go from a dig or slower roll. I will keep all that in mind. Just wanted to say thanks for the input and I'll post the dyno results here in next couple of weeks I'm very excited!
