RacerJJ Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 In your opinions, is the Zippy Shift a better choice than a 2800 stall converter? I already have a PCM tune with the increased line pressure thingy, but I am still not happy with the shifts (not hard enough). Or, should I go with both and have the PCM retuned w/o the line pressure increase. I am looking for a kick in the A**, but more importantly I want drag race-consistency. Please help!!!

Dylan06SS Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 IMO the converter would be more suited for racing b/c it would allow you to launch better... but you can always use more positive gain in the shifts that the 'zippy kit' would give you... I vote you do both if you can afford it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any recomendations on which converter to get? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 I wouldn't say that a shift kit is better than a stall. A stall will give much points in the fun factor category, however, your shift will pretty much stay the same without the shift kit and will not give you the kick in the a** you're looking for. Neck snap shifts, maybe. Both would really make you happy. Shift kit and stall are the only way to go, IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

haynss Posted January 12, 2005 Report Share Posted January 12, 2005 i say if you can do the headers, TC, and shift kit, DO IT!! I would for sure go with the TC over the shift kit if you had to chose. hows about a 3000 stall instead of 2800 You will want to go higher when you get used to it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

383ss Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 a converter isn't going to give you harder shifts, just make you launch much harder. the higher the better but you need a nice cam to really take advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 a higher stall will make the shifts terrible without a shift kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RacerJJ Posted January 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 a higher stall will make the shifts terrible without a shift kit... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Can you get me both to California with enough time to install by Jan. 28? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
383ss Posted January 14, 2005 Report Share Posted January 14, 2005 a higher stall will make the shifts terrible without a shift kit... <{POST_SNAPBACK}> is that also true if you have tuning? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you get me both to California with enough time to install by Jan. 28? i don't see that being a problem... a higher stall will make the shifts terrible without a shift kit... is that also true if you have tuning? even with tuning i wouldn't see it being acceptable. upping the line pressure via programming is a bad way to go. it's ok for a temperary condition, but not for any performance situations.

Of course i really like my zippy shift now, but it was ok prior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
