Default mods before fi

Im going to order a locker(detriot tru trac) with 410s. After that Im goin to order a tr 224/224 cam with 112 lsa. and im getting it tuned after that. then im going to the track. after that im goin to buy the 4l80 lvl3 with a yank3000 or hole shot. and the radix s/c kit. then i will hit the track again.

any advice? thanks

but the only problem is, is that im gonna need a stall with that cam before i get the s/c, i kno the 410s are gonna get me off the line but the bottom end is gonna suck because of the 224. so my times will suffer until i get the tranny and stall.

any suggestions on tuners? theres no dynos around here or live tuners

alot of this i remeber from a year ago. but i just remeber that the trans might take a **** bc that cam makes it power at 6600 rpm and if this 4l60 shifts at that point it will blow. so i might have to get the tranny first.

Man i don't think that is a good cam for the radix and that is to high of a stall for a radix.If your not going to do the radix in the future it sounds good.

That converter would be good for a centrifical blower.The radix makes great low end power so a lower stall is better.Also blowers like cams with more exhaust bias and larger LSA's.[like a GT2-3 cam]
If your ultimate goal is the radix I would rethink your intial mods.

with that 112 lsa you are gonna be bleeding off your boost through the exhaust side. Most here with radix are running the gt2-3 with great success due to it's wider 118.5 lsa.
