Wizard Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) Well, been spending money like a drunk sailor. Just received my HPtuners, TBTC, Dynatech long tubes show up tomorrow.

04CHASE Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 (edited) very nice list man . but imo you should have gone with a better converter , behind your blown engine a tbtc would be my last choice espeacially since you built your trans. it would really suck to hear you kille dyour tranny with the tc being the culprit.

Wizard Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 I was going off Zippy's recommendation. I gotta believe he knows a thing or two. I really don't get to the track that much anyway. Well see what happens. If I gotta go bigger than I gotta go bigger! Wiz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted May 18, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 What bad things may I run into with a lower stall like the TBTC. The converter itself or damage to the tranny? Dammit Chase now you got me worried. First it was the wheels now this. Thanks man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krambo Posted May 18, 2007 Report Share Posted May 18, 2007 What bad things may I run into with a lower stall like the TBTC. The converter itself or damage to the tranny?Dammit Chase now you got me worried. First it was the wheels now this. Thanks man. I agree with Chase. When you get to the level of a supercharger and a built tranny, a TBTC (while inexpensive and good bang for the buck) is marginal IMO. You are going to throw alot of TQ and HP through a converter that was designed to handle half of your power. I would look for certain things like anit-balooning plates, a solid lock-up clutch (or multiple clutches) to name a few. Don't get me wrong, the converter will perform but how long will be the question... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wizard Posted May 19, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2007 Well got to come home to a big box full of Dynatech headers. Awesome, can't wait. BTW: I have heard some talk of a new design on these headers, does anyone happen to know about this change as far as not melting the plug wires? My box has #115841350.

Yeah, my TBTC blew up within the first six months in mine. The clutch blew up and sent metal through my whole transmission. After a transmission rebuild and a new Yank converter, couldn't be happier.
