If you plan to do a 5sp swap next winter just leave the stock converter in it. Flush the transmission good and put a shift kit in it for the season. the shift kit will be much more useful than the tq converter. Wth the power your making you wont need much more. When you hit the 475 - 500 RWHP range your going to need to look at changing it with somehting badass!!
the 4r70w is an AODe with electronic overdrive. That transmission is Fords weakest link. I had one in my 94 and I hated it!! I had the entire transmissoin built to the max, manual valve body, full shift kit, and a 3200 stall. I wish I never wasted the $ on it to be honest. Is it out of the questoin to swap to a 5sp? I honestly think that would be your best bet. Another thing to take into consideration is the automatic (especially the 4r70w) absorbs a tremendous amount of power.. Sometimes up to 40 - 50 RWHP is robbed over a 5sp or a properly built auto. What do you think?
auto or manual? whats your budget and whats your expectations? How much HP will you be pushing and is the transmission built? street / strip im assuming...
I finally hit up a Dunkin Cruise Night, met one of ur buddies, I forget his name, he's got a 96 GT Supercharged Its like Tangerine Orange, fuckin sick car, he was tellin me bout the Thursday Nights Up in the falls, I think im gonna head up this week for sure, as long as the weather doesn't shit out on us...which im sure it will. But yeah man, he had nothing but good things to say bout ya..
Hey I was just wondering if you still wanted my headlights, sorry for the delay I got stuck up on something. You can call me at 518-428-8066 or just write me back
Hey, whats goin on man. I see ya have a custom ride club...do you customize rides too? I need some cutouts in my rear bumper for my new magnaflow tips...is that up your alley?
Well, other than the BBK cold air intake and 70mm throttle body that I intstalled, I think the next mod will be a custom set of Flowmaster Pipes, It will give her that added sound plus a bit of horse power added I think something like 18-22 extra Hpwr to the rear wheels. Other than that, im not sure. What do you think?
