bill is 1.5 hr (150 miles) away from northern jersey. I've been to Bills for help.

you'd be hard pressed to find any one as nice and as knowledgeable as Bill. its worth the trip.

and Bill's prices are more than reasonable.

Help? lol transmission swap

**Scottydoggs** · 07-19-2012

lol yeah you were a huge help. your the only one who has touched my car other than the alignment shop.

i do my damn-est to do as much of my own work as possible, trans swap would have taken me forever.

and lets face it, you make it look easy. i never saw a shop do a fwd trans in 4 hours. i tell people and they all look at me like im lying too lol or i get a, that's quick from them.

1.5 hr isnt that bad. i figure im gonna probably drop a 1000-1500 under the hood. any suggestions?

**BillBoost37** · 07-19-2012

Suggestion on parts?

**nine8** · 07-19-2012

yes, any suggestions as to what parts i should purchase? as stated im most likely going to drop 1000-1500 under the hood for some more gettey upp.

**BillBoost37** · 07-19-2012

What do you have? All you've told us that I see is your supercharged

**nine8** · 07-19-2012

its a 98 gtp 4 door.

**BillBoost37** · 07-19-2012

Mileage?

**nine8** · 07-19-2012

it has 13x,xxx on the clock. car was very well takin care of though.

**BillBoost37** · 07-19-2012

Ok, anything you do includes springs and valve seals. Assuming you'd be thinking rockers or a camshaft.

**nine8** · 07-19-2012

so assuming you are doing the work whats a ballpark figure i should be looking at? i want more boost but i also want to do it the right way with suporting mods. so how far do you think 1000-1500 would get me labor included?

**nine8** · 07-19-2012

would a cam be the best choice before the pulley?

**nine8** · 07-19-2012

ive read the great write up of how to saftly mod these motors. im just trying to see how far 1000-1500 could get me with labor included if you were doing the work.

Justin here. I've been well verse watching bill make 3800's special. Been to his house multiple times and helped and watched many modding sessions. Funny part I've worked on other people's cars more at his house than I have had him work on my own ha.
Just to let you know what I have done which might interest you.
On others.
Gen III to Gen V swap including modding the LIM
Engine pull for a cam swap
Non modding Maitanence. (i.e tune ups, suspension, ect)
All these cars are running strong on the road.

On my car own car. (97 Bonneville SE)
Swapped in a Series III, GT2 cam swap, LS7 lifters, LS6 valve springs, self P&P lower intake, and replaced the heads.
Converted from a 4t60 to a 4t65-HD
Waiting in the wings are headers, full 3" exhaust, and a Series III upper with a N* and HV3 (waiting to get out of my sling from shoulder surgery)

I have a tuner but my abilities are not super strong yet but we will be able to keep the car happy.

Bill is a monster in the 3800 field. I haven't gotten my trans swap times down to 4 hours yet. But a nice perk is my zip code is 07748.
