Also i would also consider a 2800 rpm stall instead of a 3200 rpm (in the long run the 2800 would be much better on a street driven car then the 3200 rpm) unless you are going to see a ton of track time and run a cam that requires such a high stall if not in my opinion its a waste to have such a high stall.
That is good advise .I was looking for a whole rear ,but sometimes you really dont know what youre getting . It might have posi or bearing issues ?? Devin at WHIPLASH PERFORMANCE is hooking me up with a set of gears and an install kit at a great price . This way I know Ill have new gears ,bearings and fresh fluids .As far as doing the gears ,it shouldn't be too bad .Ive done 4 sets of gears on different cars .How bad could it be ? LOL
The converter is a different story . I plan on putting a healthy cam in it in the spring .Not too much track time ,but its not a D/D ,so Im looking to go as fast as I can and still be as reliable as a D/D. Besides ,I need all the help I can get . My one friend at work has a 2003 Z06 ( 376 rwhp) and my other friend has a Nissan 240sx with a big honking turbo (2500 pounds -379 rwhp) Ive got to get them out of the hole at least
