I'm waiting on a w4m tune, I just wanted it for now so i can keep my stock pcm and get a better tune later from wheatley.After the tune i plan on getting coated pacesetters longtubes. Then I will buy an x pipe and two 22-28" magnaflows and get rid of this flowmaster. I think that two 22"s will be quiet enough but some people are saying that it won't. After the exhaust Im not sure what to do.. Should i get a shift kit? maybe 4:10s with a built rear end? I know that a cam isn't goin to happen for a long time so there is no point of thinking about it.Anyone have any opinions on what mods to do after the full exhaust?

 

3200 stall

 

3200? a bit much?

 

I'd look into a shift kit/servos, not only for performance but for tranny durability. Quicker shifts = less heat which = longer tranny life. Plus the 4l60e will be able to handle more torque, and shift kits are cheap. 4.10's aren't a bad idea either. You could awlays go to a junk yard and pick up a PCM out of a silverado/sierra for cheap and send it to get tuned by wheatley, you could probably pick one up for less than $158.10.

I'd get the 4.10's first, so you could order the tune with the speedo corrected.

 

thanks for the info.. 4:10s from 3:73s will be a big difference? I have a vette servo and it shifts hard from 1-2 and 2-3. will a shift kit make it jerk hard under regular driving conditions? Also I already sent out for a tune and Im waiting on it. It should be here by monday or tuesday.

So wheres a good place to find some 4:10s?

 

no. it should be just right. out of all the mods ive done, the stall was the best. some guys are running 3800+

 

ill look into it..

anyways about the gears.. I dunno much about them. Ive seen 7.5-9.5 with the price going up. 14 bolt. and u tell them which gears u want. so its a whole set. ring and pinion. I dont really know what they would do over factory? are they stronger? I understand what the actually gears are for but not the ring and pinion.

 

the ring and pinion is the gear set. and, if you already have 3.73s, i dont think you will see much difference with 4.10s. spend that money on a good stall converter and you will be 100times happier.
the shift kit is a great idea too. if its install right and a good tune, it wont shift much harder if any than it does now with the servos. oh... and get the transgo hd2 kit

 

ok so is it worth it to get the 4:10s? i am getting about 19.5 mpgs. what am i looking at with 4:10s.. my stock ones is 3:73s.

 

you might lose 1-2mpg if you drive on the freeway alot. in the city it should help some so average should equal out bout the same.
