Halltech Tric-Thanks 1BadZ
Borla XR1
SLP MAF-Thanks David Plum
97-99 Style Front Rims With BFG Drag Radials-Thanks Sunshine C5 and Ebay
Hurst Line Lock-Thanks Jegs
3.42 Rear End-Thanks Ebay
PT 2400-Thanks NJVetteGuy
Tranny Cooler
LS1 Edit and Dyno tuning plus 3.42 and TC install by Jason Shifflett, owner of F-Body Central.

3.42 and TC should be going in the car within a couple weeks
Line lock goes in on monday!

Oh I cant wait!!!!! :cheers: :lol:

I got a 12.98 on my runflats before with the TRIC + XR1 + Runflats.
What is a estimate on what you think I could get now.

Thanks!

You're not too anxious about the mods are you? :lol: Congrats! I'd say you'll be running deep into the 12's with drag radials. You're 60' times should greatly improve with the gears, torque converter and DR's. :cool:

Sounds like a plan! :yesnod: But you forgot one mod..TRANSGO shift kit..without it the new 10.5 inch PT 2400 T/C will create a delay between the soft shifts..The programming will help..but no where as clean and quick as the Transgo..You heard from me first..Trust me I've been there.. :yesnod: While you have the transmission apart ..it's a no brainer ;)

FWIW..The stock converter is 12 inches..the PT2400 is 10.5..the stock stall is 1200-1400..the PT2400 is 2200-2400...more fluid in that transmission and the PCM program will only let you build the line pressure to a max of 89 lbs. Do the Transgo..you will be glad you did.. PROMISE!:thumbs:

Alright so add the TransGO!

Question...does the transgo in anyway shorten the life of the a4?

In a word...NO!:smash: It actually will extend the life of the transmission..quicker shifts..less friction:D

Congrats on the mods Usmuscl,
How did you like F-body Centrals Shop/Service??
I just had my gears done at ECS :thumbs: So now I'm planning heads/Cam as my next performance mod. But as you know the "recommended" shop here in Maryland's prices are a tad bit.........Off the Norm. compared to the forum tuners rates. Do they have much experience with the traditional Vette Mods?.
would you go to them again? or recommend them?
:cheers: on the latest set of Mods.
