the engine is a 2004 LQ9 and teh tranny is a stock 4l80e. should i put a stall in while the engine is on the stand? shoudl i do any tranny mods? this is going in a 1985 c10 that will be for weekend duty and cruising.

cam specs are

@ .050 int. 220 exh 226
gross int .581 exh .584

on a 113 lobe seperation.

 

you wont need much stall for that cam!! but yes i would stall it before installing the engine and tranny! add a sevo and shift kit to the 80e. sounds like a nice project ya got there

 

the stock converter will stall up to 2500-2600
You could spend another $700 for a 3000 stall . . .
plan on getting the TransGo HD2 shift kit, with the hardened plate. The 4L80e has a really tall 1st gear

I'm running a 224 230 581 591 -110, it's all stock.

shift kit yes . . . but 80e's don't have servos like the 60e has

 

so no stall would be the best bet with the baby cam. what will teh shift kit do for me?

 

unless you're wanting to race from light to light . . . then no stall is ok.

Shift kit is for less slipping, and direct clutch burn up. It also allows you to shift to any gear and hold it at any RPM, it also gets rid of the pulse lockup

 

anyone got a part number on the shift kit? i want to be sure i get the right one

 

Shift kit
Separator plate

Apparently this seller sells for le$$ on eBay.

 

220/226 113 LSA and 364 cubes...I'd go with something that stalls around 2800+, 3K+ being better...

 

a member since 04 and you don't know what a shift kit does? You need to stick around more if you can.

I'd definitely get a shift kit. They are cheap and well worth the cost. A trans cooler would also be a good investment if you run a stall (even if you don't). You can get a good one anywhere from 80-120 bucks.


Are there pics of that camaro on here somewhere?

 

i have been arounf a while but on ls1tech mostly. and i run a t56. i know what old school chift kits do but this is my 1st electric auto.

thanks for the help. the parts will be on order today.
