I did not see a hi stall T/C listed in your mods. If you don't have one you will definately need one with that big cam. I would also want at least 3.42 gears to go along with my T/C.

363 RWHP with that big cam is on the low side. I would say somemore tweaking is definately needed. Good Luck!!!!!

I had a PT2400 in my car at one time, it is a good little converter. But with that big cam you need more stall to get the best performance out of it. I would say you need 3500 stall minimum with 4000 stall or more being even better with that huge cam. If I were you I would take a good look at the Yank SS4000. Even though it has alot of stall it still will give you decent driveability. Going to a numerically higher gear ratio like 3.73 or 3.90 will also help your driveabilty and performance. If you feel a 4000 stall is more than you want the Yank SS3600 or SS3800 would also be alot better than your current PT2400. Good Luck!!!!!

I personally prefer the SS3800 for that cam... anything bigger on the street and its gonna be a smokeshow anytime he hits the gas!

Oh, and the numbers were unlocked on a VERY conservative tune set for 89-91 octane meant to last year round without editing in our 120 degree summers... we could have gone more agressive but then that defeats the purpose of a no maintenence daily driver
