So the transmission on my turbo car is still stock and as such I left have the boost limited to 9 psi to make sure I don't shred the trans. Since my next step is to pull it out and upgrade some hard parts, I figured I'd look at other upgrades to make as well. My current setup is:
L36/stock trans with 69K miles
Cartuning Turbo Kit modified to fit a Precision 6262.
3" Cat & Cat-Back exhaust
Walbro 255lph Pump & L67 Injectors
So my plan for the trans is a 300m input shaft and 7/8" 2.93 Chain along with a Transgo shift kit. Is replacing the torque converter a good idea as well? What are folks using for that. Brandon gave me a few things to replace in the valve body as well. Anything else?
My plan for the motor is a ST1 turbo cam, but I'm not sure what else to run for valvetrain. I'm considering LS6 springs and LS7 Lifters. Looks like I would need Retainers. Would I need new pushrods? What's the best option for timing chain? My goal is to keep it reliable, even if I have to sacrifice a little power to do it.
I'm really thinking I want to run e85, so I'm planning 80lb injectors. Guessing the 255 pump isn't going to be enough. I see folks running fuel logs, do these flow more, are they necessary or can I use the stock rails?
Lastly, I'm planning to install an L26 UIM with an L67 TB and LS1 Maf.
That's all I can think of so far. Thoughts? Anything I'm missing?
