Hey guys, i have been throwing around the idea or a cam(212-218) or a 2600-2800 circle d converter... cam i can install myself, the converter i would take somewhere to have put in. what is your alls opinions on which i should get first. a trutrac would be next since the converter will prob tear the stock rear end apart! can anyone send me the link to Ron's for that trutrac? Thanks

Id do a stall. Id also recommend a 3k circle d. Its a great converter and im still on the stock cam and rearend (non g80).
With the circle d and 100shot it feels real good

 

A cam that conservative you can get by without a stall for a little bit. But obviously the stall will compliment the cam and will come eventually.

With that If they need to be done separately I'd say stall first.

 

You gotta put the power to the ground first, id do suspension/gears then spec the cam and converter together..... Just my .02

 

I did gears stall/trans and now I'm doing heads and cam and lowering kit/suspension that's how I would go.

 

thanks for the replies..... Swerve on the suspension what you talking bout traction bars? would like to keep the 3.42 just upgrade to the trutrac.. i guess converter will be next how many mpgs did you loose with the 3000rpm stall 2007chevy5.3????

 

depends what the majority of your driving is like. my mileage average didn't drop at all after installing the circle d, 19-20mpg average every tank, with about 15-20 min of rush hour traffic everyday. but most of my mileage is 65-70mph so the converter is locked and mileage isn't affected by it. the converter will not affect your differential in any adverse way.

 

Yeah keep the 3.42s.
I lost alot of MPGs because all i do is now lol
Taking it easy id say i only lost about 2-3mpg city at 13mpg and kept the same highway at around 19mpg.
Its hard for you guys to compair because of my weight. On a skinny day she weighs 5400lbs. The weight/gearing/tire size actually makes the converter about a 3400-3500rpm. Its all gonna vary. All in all I love it and makes me smile

 

alright thats not too bad i guess. i have my motorcycle for fuel mileage. lol so with a 3000rpm stall you can sit still will the engine turning at 3000 and brake applied then let go and it shoots off? right? still trying to understand
