heck yeah. make sure you get some times
You're gunna love it! Make sure you give it a few hundred miles to set in...
I ordered mine too. Looks like itll ge to me friday. Now I just need to get my trans working right.
What's up with your trans?
Yeah i figured id run it for a couple weeks pretty easy or through a tank of gas 400-500miles before i beat on it too much. Debating on if i should go ahead and put my vette servo in when it arives or wait and do the servo and shiftkit at the same time. Also looking into a tb converter or one oe the circle d'modded tb converters. If i do get a converter ill do all the trans work at once i also want to install a tranny temp gauge.
When i head back to the track (1/8th) with my new mods what you guys think i could pull off? I prob woulnt be able to get to track untill mid june hopefully sooner though but ill have a 93 "performance tune" ultraflo catback intake tb bypass i might have the servo and shift kit in and maybe a converter by then also 3rd row delete spare delete and run low and gas. Last best was 10.54 @67 or 68mph highest i can footbrake my stock converter is 1900 i tried a few diff rpms last time out about 1400-1500 worked best then. Id be awsome if i could break into the high 9's'atleast lol. Oh on last run i had about a half tank too 15gal (31gal tank)
Servos and shift kit are cheap and easy (like Garrisson's mom)--and you can do it on a Saturday (just like Garrisson's mom). I say go ahead and do the tranny stuff now. That way NP can leave your tranny pressures at stock, zero out your shift times, and remove all but about 10% of the TM...
P.S. When installing the shift kit--DO NOT add any washers to the 2nd accumulator. Trust me. ;)
Hum...this" garrisons mom" sounds halgway appealing hum... Anyway yeah i already have a servo on the way and just need to order the shift kit itself. I know i want to/need to add some sort of tranny temp gauge so i figured if i have to go aftermarket and put a hole in the pan now would be the time. Oh also let "garrisons mom" know i like easy and im free most saturdays! Lmao
What's this crazy talk about "ordering a tune", and "installing a tune"???
Wideband tuning is the way to go, get a tuner you know and trust, get em' a dyno and some good software, and tell them to get to work. Wideband beats mail-order every time. :burnrubb:
I had it rebuilt and now it trys to slip from 2nd to third if i get one it. If i baby it, it does fine. im gonna start with a messed up servo seal.Quote:

It can be anything but may not be 3-4 clutches if 4th is OK. 3-4 clutch failures are common.
My guess for the OP with stall, tune, SK, servos, and weight reduction is 9.79 in the 8th in good air.
Yeah ill prob end up going with the hd-2 since thats what most have recomended. I figured about 9.9-10.0 with out stall so your guess is about on with mine. Ive been on thirdgen for about 4-5yrs also bluez! Plan on a lsx swap on my 86 ta someday for now it just sits :( on a good note my 82 is getting a hot lil 383 with brodix heads forged rods and pistons solid cam ect.. :)
Nice, that should be a good setup. The LSX swap would be awesome in your T/A also. I have been wanting to do an LS1 swap for a very long time, actually ever since I got the car back in 2003. I finally figured that it would be cheaper to get a truck block 6.0 and go that route, and it will end up making more power anyways haha
yeah ive had my 86 since 04 and always wanted a lsx swap especialy since it had a 200k+mile lg4 with 2.73's lol i started on it got all interior out and body stripped for paint and engine bay cleaned and sleared of clutter but thats as far as i got. bought the 82 to have another driver 3rdgen and well it needs no body and interior work so it gets to go fast first. shooting for low 11's in 1/4 with it. Ive got no 1/4 tracks near me so thats part of the reason i want to mod the yukon some to ease towing a car all over the place. i may end up going with a 4l60e or a 4l80e in the 86 instead of a t56 like i originaly wanted that would ease the swap to go auto again.
Yea but if the T56 is what you really want, you should do it. It's not like you HAVE to have the swap done by a certain date. Just do it at your own pace, and if you get the 6spd swap done you will probably be a lot more happy with it since it was what you originally wanted.
I know my swap will take me a good year or year and a half to complete, and I'm ok with it because I know in the end I will have everything I have wanted. (minus the aluminum block, but I'm really ok with that because of the power advantages of a 6.0)
yeah your right lol ive wanted a 6speed sooooo bad!!! im hoping to start on it again this summer and get a floor pan welded in and finish the interior and start looking for a motor and trans. mine has been down for close to 3yrs already :( i had a motor and trany in it for a while and drove it some but it didnt last long i yanked it and parked it again. i said i wasnt gona start it till after i buy a house but i may start a lil sooner.
