[Overdrive keeps shifting up and down at cruising speed.]

Was it tuned for the correct stall though?? If that has changed it can cause problem locking and unlocking. I mean one tune doesn't fit all here.

[Shift kit or not??]

Hey guys my trans has been running around with a 3200 stall for a few months and now a healthy cam. It still shifts fine and seems to be in okay condition. My question is would it be wise to install a transgo and servos now. Or just wait till it shits the bed and order my FLT 5.

[corsa exhaust]

Had your mind on the good stuff bro!!

[gauges]

Just curious... Whats wrong witht he factory oil pressure gauge and trans temp gauge... Are they not accurate? I know nothings pefect but they should be close... I am all about getting the necessary gauges but if I already have them I don't see the need to get new ones just to look cool and they do look cool LOL ...

Not accurate at all.

[corsa exhaust]

Morphine eh? Lol

[Overdrive keeps shifting up and down at cruising speed.]

I'm leaning more towards tuning. A higher stall converter needs retuning. Minimum duty cycle on converter needs to be upped. My trans did the exact thing when I put my 3200 stall in. Could still be a problem with TCC though.

[Overdrive keeps shifting up and down at cruising speed.]

Do you have a aftermarket TC?

[$2000 what should I do first ???]

Dude, 2k isn't gonna buy a Maggie. And 3200 isn't too high, upper limit yes, too high no. He said he's doing the work himself. I'm telling the guy how to get the most performance for the least coin. His budget is enough for everything I mentioned, so long as he does the wrenching.

 

I'm not going to argue with you any more. But the stock converter sucks. Tune + bolt ons is still slow as hell. He knows what direction he is ultimately going, so he will be able to decide what stall range to look at. 3200 was merely a suggestion. No carriage before the horse here.

LOL, glad I could help.

[$2000 what should I do first ???]

No doubt^ the op has been given sound advice. He will have to weigh out the options for himself though.

[$2000 what should I do first ???]

3200 is a good all around stall. A good converter WILL pick his performance up more than any other mod he has listed. Bang for the buck wise, you can't beat a good converter upgrade.

 

I ran my truck with a 3200 stall with the stock cam and it was an absolute blast to drive. I don't know where all this nonsense about having to have a big cam before doing a converter upgrade started, but it needs to stop.

I run tr5ix

[Best place to get new tires and what brand is decent/affordable]

My ls2 eagles have 30k on them and they are fine.

[0-80 run with cam, 3200 stall, and tune.]

Jason, does your cam have any advance ground in? I have been watching the video you sent me, and your 0-60 is about 3 tenths faster. And in my video, you can clearly see my truck pulls very hard up top. My cam is straight up, no advance.

[Which heads should I go with?]

I'm going with TFS 225 CNC ported. Prolly the best head on the market for these trucks.

[electric cutouts, which ones?]

I love the way those open. I have DMH and they leak when closed drives me crazy.

[tax returnes]

Run a CNC machine shop. Lathe, multi axis mills, robot welding, EDM, millturn, grinding. I do a lot of the programming.

[$2000 what should I do first ???]

A high stall converter lets the engine get to it's power band faster. A 3200 stall will give you more performance gains than any of the other mods you have listed.

[tax returnes]

Not really. It's my company, looks like a lot on paper but I really don't make that much. Money goes out the door for everything to keep a business going.

 

I'd rather owe than get a return though. I don't want them bitches holding my money. I'd rather hold "theirs".

[She's gonna be here for awhil]

70 here this past weekend.

 

Washed the SS and worked on my tan a little lol.

[$2000 what should I do first ???]

Converter, long tubes, exhaust, cold air intake, servo, tune. You'll be pushing 2k but it will be a nice wake up for the truck.

[0-80 run with cam, 3200 stall, and tune.]

Thanks! Yeah trans is next. I'm feeling bold now, may try my hand at building this 60e. Gulp
