Default Need some input please.

Well, it has been awhile, but I finally have some mod money. I have an Eaton Posi on the way, and I think I will go with 4.10's. Vette servo going in too, with a tranny cooler. What can I expect from this at the track? I have a open differential now, with 3.42's. I also want some Edelbrock IAS shocks, just don't know if they will fit. I have 2" lowering shackles in the rear, and I'm not sure which ones I need. Can I use the stock height IAS shocks since my drop is so minor? Or do I need something else?
Thanks for any feedback.

Vortech5300: Can you tell me where to go in Pasadena for the servo? Thanks

Oxidizr: Are you running the Perma-Cool Maxi Cool tranny cooler? If so, which one, and is it the one with the fan on it? Thanks

I think you can get 3 tenths or better from that combo. The IAS shocks come in different sizes for lowered trucks. MTI carries them. As far as the coler, I am running a hayden and mounted it right in front of the condensor and it didnot interfear with anything ptting it there. It has also been road tested for over 600 towing miles.

yep, im running a hayden as well, no problems so far with it.

i believe oxidizer is running a hayden rapid cool. does the same thing but is a better build quality and can cool the same as the cheaper one only using 33% less surface area.

Thanks for the info guys. The Hayden cooler is the one I was looking for. What was the part # again? Greg, you got any pictures of the cooler install?

I hope to run 14.3-14.5 in the H-town heat before summer is over. By the time winter comes, I will have a Tq Converter or a cam, so my goal of 13's before winter should work out <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Then I am a 125 shot away from 12's. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" /> <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> 4L60E
