Since I do this to all of the new LSx drivers… Would you like to race? I have a slow automatic too.

Oh, and Rowland Street Transmission in Ballston Spa is probably the best transmission shop in this region. Not that this is a terribly involved job that requires a transmissions specialist… I would just go to Wayne, his prices are probably the best.

Go to Wayne! You do realize you will need a tune after the install.

Not necessarily. He may get misfire codes and transmission slip codes, but that really depends on the weight and stall speed of the new converter vs. the old. I had to fix the misfire tables, but I also have a 112lsa cam.

If it just picks up random misfires the converter won’t lock, thats all.

i put a 3800 stall converter in my 2000 z28 and it made a huge difference. i did not need a tune. just wait until you have everything done to get it tuned. what size and brand did you go with. hope you went big so you wont regret it
