  1. Mercury racing is teasing us. I have a pair of the quad cam 1100s in a skater. These heads are way ahead of anything we currently have. Not to mention the inherent valve train stability.

  2. Learn how to build a trans before you give out advice. Your truck was slow, yet you blew how 60s? You recommend a 80 for a 475hp motor???

     

    I stand by my statement. You don't know how to build a trans, you just throw "kits" and parts at it. And the proof is in your old truck. That trans never stayed together and it wasn't even fast. So you lick my hairy balls bitch

  3. You can run that 228 with your stall, it won't be as fast as it could be, but it'll will still be stout. That way you can upgrade your converter later to a 9.5" unit.

    9.5" converters are more effeicent than 278mm converters. A 278mm converter can't really stall any higher than 3200 cause the fluid can't change directions efficiently, due to angle of vanes limits.

    Any brand long tubes you recommend and are those a bish to put on?

     

    Here's my 2 cents.

     

    Long tubes will give you way more performance gain than any muffler swap, keep this in mind when you read what I say next.

     

    I like American Racing Headers, there system will bolt right up to the factory catback. No cutting or welding. Headers will change the sound of your factory exhaust, esp with no cats. So before I spent money of mufflers and exhaust systems, try long tubes first, they sound dang good with the factory exhaust. (Which isn't a bad exhaust at all, contrary to popular belief)

  5. Thanks. Any suggestions on the best CAI and exhaust? And maybe a mid range mail order tune?

     

    I've seen good things about the volant with the ram air tube and 57 series K&N. Then I don't want crazy load exhaust so maybe Borla from what I've read or magnaflow? Then tuners I have no idea about besides the basic ones you can buy online like superchips and hypertech. Just want the tuner part to not be a hassle.

    I would suggest someone who is local to you. Mail order is ok, but you see a lot of bs and horror stories on various sites. It's always best for the tuner to log YOUR truck, see how it behaves, and adjust your tune accordingly. Mail order tuners *can* log your truck, but it requires you to buy additional hardware. Best bet is find a local tuner.
