Just got my car back from IPS Motorsports after having 373 gears and a 2800 stall put in. It has made a night and day difference to how the car performed. It finally feels like im using all the power the car came with. Going to get it to the track this Sunday to see what kind of time i can get. Wish me luck

I finally have that permagrin feeling!

Very nice! Can't wait to see your numbers.

POWERFREAK · 10-07-2010, 03:32 PM

make sure your gears are broken in before you go to the track.

cool, I can't wait to get gears for mine, I think I'm going with 4.10's.

AntiVnm · 10-07-2010, 08:41 PM

first gear goes quick. if i would have had a manual....i would have hit the limiter. it took me by suprise to say the least. i couldnt imagine 410's.

With a good trans tune that takes out torque management you will have a car that feels like a big block.

Hmmmmn, I'd like to feel like I have a big block. Maybe I should bite the bullet and get the 3.70's. I need Ted to do the posi mod next anyway. If I combo the 2 maybe I can get a little discount.
