Getting Torque Converter. Headers or Cam next?
After hearing the opinon of those on this forum, I'm getting the TC as a mandatory first mod. Think I might go with the Yank SS 3200. I don't plan on switching my gears. Happy with the 3.15 for now.
Anyway - I have enough spare cash to get something else modified on the car at the same time. Should I go with cam's? If so, I was looking at MTI's B1 cam since Im sticking with stock heads. Or should I do headers first?
Anyone know average installation time on a cam kit?
My only CURRENT mods are blackwing intake and slp LM exhaust.
Your input is greatly appreciated!!
:cheers:

If you are going to do both, do headers first, but if you have to choose only 1, go with the cam as you will get more bang from your buck with it.

My 2 cents, but if you haven't reprogrammed your PCM yet, I would recommend that. Some of the benefits are lower turn on fan temps, firmer shifts, improved timing and fuel curves! :yesnod:

Here is my opinion for ya, for whatever it is worth.
Do the SY3500 torque converter, transgo shift kit, 3.42 or 3.73 gears, and the PCM re-program all at the same time.
Come back later and do LS6 intake (if prior to 01 Vette) heads & cam of your choice. :cheers:

Agree. As much as possible, and especially if your paying to have the work done, mods done in groups is most cost effective. Speide's groupings as an example.
