the only way i could do a cam that big now is get mail order retune and srive that till i can afford to have it professionally tuned or to buy tuning software myself and a laptop that would be quite a while being in school and all.

that cam has way too much duration. you would need a big *** stall and in person tuning

 

werd i'll jsut stay small no need to run 12's daily lol

 

you can stay small and still run 12's if your combo is right... looks like you have most of the bolt-ons. you just need a stall, cam, and a custom tune and you'll be set.

 

got the stall getting hte cam just need stronger trans and a re tune or dynotune/roadtune

 

awsome, what stall are you going with?

 

pi 3200

what do yall reccomend for a built tranny? not a brand but parts

how long is that trans gonna last on 3200 stall, only servos, trans go hd2 and cooler???

 

if it's done right i'd guess it should last for a while. i've never messed with automatics so i couldn't tell you. i just had my built by a local tranny shop here. i've been beating on it since mid july and it hasn't missed a lick yet.

 

If oyu want it to last and not have to worry about blowing it up this what you need IMO

Copy Paste from a PM I sent this is all the **** that is in my tranny basically minus the vac mod prices are approximate

$40 - 29 element sprag
$50 - Alto Forward & Low/Rev clutches
$20 - Alto 2-4 Band
$65 - Alto 3-4 clutch pack, full thickness clutch and steels
$60 - Billet OD servo
$40 - Input Drum reinforcement kit
$10 - Aluminum accumulator pistons
$35 - Beast reaction shell
$15 - TransGo plate
$115 - HD reaction carrier shaft
$25 - High RPM 3-4 spring pack
$7 - Hardened Pump rings
$130 - all new solenoids and harness (except EPC dont need as you go vac)
$15 - Sonnax check valve

$170-420 - hardened or billet output shaft
$90 - Vac modulated Shifts


This is a list of what you would need pretty much. Get a transgo hd-2 shift kit vette servo and a billet od servo if you plan WOT 4th gear shifts. I got a hardened shaft and it seems to be taking the torture of offroading with 33's. Oh and a big azz tranny cooler heat is the main enemy. If you really dont want to have anything to worry about get the 5 pinion planetaries get factory gm ones not aftermarket I know it sounds weird but the factory ones are powdered metal and they are much stronger than aftermarket. My tranny cooler is a 40,000 gcvw and it keeps it nice and cool(150*). Vac shift stuff is if you want to do away with the EPC solenoids which controls line pressure(ie shift firmness) you replace it with a ford C4 unit me personnally I wouldnt do this cause you have to run a vacuum line and all that bs. Let me know if you have any questions. The prices are approximate. I got my stuff from 4l60-e.com.
