Got 12's now i need more.
Im wondering exactly what to expect by switching from my 2.73 to a 3.42 and around a 2800 stall.Now im slightly modded (intake exhaust programmer) and hit a 12.97 and i want to be deeper into the twelves.How much do you guys think i will shave with this combo?Thanks in advance!

Though I put it together myself. Bought the differential from Ken Ficthner and the torque converter from a forum member.
Expect to pay $500-$700 in labor, depending on where you live.

Take 16 Again's advice. I have had a Pro Torque converter in my car, the Yank SS3200 is a better converter.

I second it ...see sig 3200(2.5str) very street friendly. IMHO that gear change might drop 2 tenths Most people do it while they are in there. Converter will give you the most bang for the buck hands down!!
