Higher Stall... Pro's & Con's

The gears will actually help mileage around town and the TC will drop you about 1mpg. The TC may even end up helping since its a job to get those big tires moving.
On a dyno the shorties can't touch the Long tubes and the sound quality is awesome. Most guys on here just run a y-pipe to single 3''in/out mufflers. The type of muffler makes the bigger difference. Is it straight through or chambered? What brand/model?

Sounds like a plan! Anyone have an idea what gears and a TC will run (ball park)? Also a good quality TC and gear manufacutre as I am now pretty excited to do this and will be looking to get this done soon.

As far as the exhaust I have no idea as this came on it and for the moment sounded good and seemed ok, now I am rethinking that. I would also probably be looking to redo this so any recommendaitons for this would be great.


Any order of doing this that would be better doubt I can afford to do it in one wack!

Okay a circle D TC is 400$.
a gear swap kit is about 185$
If you got a complete Trutrac rear locker with gears is about 425$
Pacesetter LT headers and Y is about 380-450
Custom 3in. Catback with a magnaflow is about 250-300 at an average shop
Vette servo is 20$

Check out Circle D for the servo and TC also might want to pick up a big trans cooler too its like $180
Ron's Machining for the gears and/or trutrac
Texas Speed has reasonable prices on the headers, but could just wait for some used ones to come up.
Get a local shop to do the cat-back.
Also resell your current exhaust and make some money back.

Circle does not make a 400 dollar converter for a 4l80e. And were the hell are you getting these prices?

They do for the 60e. Could've saw 1500 and not thought of the HD. Maybe that's what he was thinking? It's still a good list for us beginners.

Yea ino they make them for a 60e. And his prices are soooooo far off its not funny. To put gears and true trac in the 9.5 is going to cost you about 900-1100 if done your self. Plus you still got the front to do.

Those prices Kerrige listed are not close at all, lol. 80E converters are expensive, bottom line. You could pick up a cheaper one, but as we all know, you get what you pay for.

Go with 4.56's because of your 35" tires, and do them first. Ron's Machining Service has great prices, products, and customer service.

I paid 825 for my circle d.
