Torque coveter recomendations

[Ridings Automatics]

Yeah I guess I just dont really care about streetablity because thats all in the mind of the beholder. I plan to run a 4000-4400 Stall in my DD

People usually freak out when you tell them 3800 and up stall speeds! 4000-4400 will rock as a daily driver! I had 3800 in my nova with a N/A 383 and it drove around like my stock truck. It all depends on the torque of the engine!!

Mike makes his own converters. as in cuts them open, does his magic and then welds them back together...besides i think he's a GN guy too, so i think he'd know atleast something about a V6

I use to be a GN guy, till the kids came and i had to sell it. I still love all things TURBO though. Can't wait till joe gets done wiring yours and you fire that monster up!!!

remember he has a 3.8l and it takes a different converter than you ls1/v8 guys. Not every company offers one.

like I have told you before, 3k is where it is at for your 3.8l

That's correct. They are already a 9.5'' converter {much like the ones that are built for perfromance from me,percision,yank and the like}.

It wouldn't be hard to modify, i think the demand just isn't there.

I think ive finally decided this is whats next for the car, cheapest way for that "seat of the pants" kind of change im looking for, while still being able to DD the car comfortably.

Im not sure which brands are good for the V6, I think im going for about a 3k stall, but this has to be TOTALLY streetable, I drive this thing EVERYDAY in the summer, with lots of highway miles, so I cant be loosing out to much in the fuel economy department. Those are the only requirements, have at it, jump on in with ANY suggestions you have, I have no real torq coverter/trans experience so ANY info is greatly appreciated.

I think for $ to $ spent, It's going to be hard to beat nitrous!!! By the time you have spent the money on the converter and the $$ to R&R the trans you would have a small nitrous kit with some $$$ left over.

The seat of the pants would be greater with the nitrous and you'd have no loss of fuel economy { untill you start blasting WOT a million times, Nitrous is addictive}.

Ah, yeah i just remember you talking to Brian "Fat Man" about his GN. either way, yeah i can't wait for the wiring to be done and put the car on the T-Brake and 2 step!

Is it safe to spray a car with 95k on it? What would a good shot, 50, 75? What does a good wet kit cost?

as long as the engine is in good working order spraying it would be fine. I would suggest going dry over wet with our cars and a 50-75 shot goes along ways for our cars.

NOS 05175 is a great starter dry kit that I sell right on my site. Many guys run it with great success

I thought wet was a safer way to go?

I thought wet was a safer way to go?

nope, puddling occurs with wet kits. When you get higher than 100 on our intakes with a wet you run into backfiring issues usually.

dry kits the MAF does the tuning for you and there is no fuel in the intake

Other than the kit, what else would I need at bottle heater and a remote opener? If I got one it would go in the spare tire area.

[97rs4life]

bottle heater would be a good investment as you want the correct psi when spraying to get the full shot. a remote bottle opener if you don't want to go back there and open it. Depends on how stealthy you want it really.
