Gears and Converter, Done!
Well I just finished a gear swap and a converter change. I swaped out the 2.73 gears for a 3.42 set. While I had it all apart I installed a Yank 3200 converter. I took some pictures, I figure there is enough "how-to" on these forums to not need captions. The last Picture the car is on the Dyno at "Race Proven Motorsports" Good bunch of guys and they seem to really know what they are doing. Thaks to all that got me this far.

How do you like the 3200?
Just for giggles,did you have a baseline before the swap?I am wondering what change in hp and tq you saw with the swap.I am assuming it would be lower, from what I have read

You are correct, the converter does rob some power, how much I dont know. Un fortunately I didn't have a dyno pull BEFORE the swap. but we did do a pull before they started tuning on it and from that number I am up about 20 hp.
