Anyone that can make that kinda power on a 346 with 243s, auto with stock converter is either a magician, or lying. I'd assume the latter.

If Ed is tuning it I predict it will be superfast and drive like a f'in dream.
You can throw away the dyno graph I guarantee you will be satisfied.

sorry. didnt see stock converter in which case probably meant smaller cam than i thought would be installed. i was focused on compression and chamber size hence i thought the cam would be in the low, mid 230.before you make an *** out of u and me know how others have made there conclusions. contempt prior to investigation will keep you in total ignorances

I would have done a good stall and tune. That would've made just as much improvement to the car as the mods you just did.

Is it really all that much fun running around town with a slipping stall, until
you rap down on it , to get it to lock?Also if you arent planning on going to thr track but one or twice wouldnt a stall be overkill on the street< im talking about a 3000 to 3200 on a daily driver..

Mods depend on the use of the car.

I guess you've never driven a car with a quality stall. My Yank PY3600 was great, and had no problems with even my non-car-oriented wife driving it. It pulled away from lights just fine without hitting 2000 RPM. That's what I'm talking about. A GOOD stall that works properly. It makes the car 10x more fun. After all, how fun is it to spend all that money on heads and cam just to get outran by a car with even a $600 stall?

Don't take this as an attack, man. I understand 100% because at one time I thought a stall was awful too. But I'd never driven a well built auto car. All of them were junk B&M or TCI converters. Driving a good one changed my mind totally. It's your car and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I just hate to see someone do such good mods to only get 1/3 the benefit they would get if they'd build the driveline better. Either way, good luck. And let us know how it goes.
