Converter installed!

I installed my 3000 stall-2.0 STR converter today.
Pretty rough job, considering I installed it all by myself in the my garage.
(on 6 ton jack stands) I took it for a short ride. It doesn't shift as hard as it used to. Hopefully my times improve. I cut 1.47 60ft times pulling the front tires about 6" with the stock converter.

Re: Converter installed!

If you don't mind me asking, how does one put a car like yours in the high 10's with a 1.47 60 ft. time on a stock converter? Parts list please. And for the second question, why not go bigger on the stall size?

1st question......nitrous.
2nd question......It was recommended by the manufacture for my application.

Re: Converter installed!

if you're pulling those time, I bet you'd do better with a 3600 or so... Also the tranny is still shifting as crisp and hard, you just cant feel it as much with the new converter, that is normal...

Re: Converter installed!

That's pretty impressive. What else is done besides slicks and a 150 shot?
