[Syty] 700r4 trans

[Daron]

 Let me summarize... A 2800 stall is a decent compromise for a street driven truck with a reasonable horsepower goal.? Find a horsepower target and build your truck for that, not the other way around.? I mainly disagree with what dennis is "smokin,"? especially if we are talking female sheep...

Sure... "somewhat 
larger" should be fine, depending on what kind of LAUNCH you're 
trying to achieve... and how much extra gasoline you're willing to buy if you 
DON'T...



  
drive around town in 
  Overdrive, and

  
drive around town a 
  lot above 42mph.



Not to mention the 
extra HEAT a high-stall TC will contribute when NOT driving in OD... 
and assuming you haven't disabled your TCC-- good for performance, bad for heat 
and gas mileage!


?


High-stalls on the 
street are for kids-- much like Trix (silly Rabbit!)-- and 
why I opted for something under 3000rpm when I ordered my 
Vigilante, whose primary selling point for me was its grippy, 4x 
clutch area.? I wanted extra insurance that the TCC would stay 
locked up in spite of assorted hiccups from the motor... wanted the good gas 
economy above 42mph.


?


So unless you're 
building a track-only bracket machine or like harsh TCC-lock-ups, don't sweat 
the stall speed so much.? If you are trying to smoke tires to the 
exclusion of much else, MATCH your stall speed to the torque peak 
(rpm)?you've already matched your cam and intake velocity to jointly 
achieve....

Thanks D.O. for 
  your suggestions. Will the 2800 stall TC be good enough for a somewhat larger 
  turbo in the future like a PTE setup?

I don't know why 
    the Camaro version of the 700R4 would be mechanically different from the 
    version in your Ty.? All I did to mine was...

    

      
Swap-out the TC 
      for a Vigilante, stall = 2800rpm; 
      

B&M Shift-Kit 
      (made absolutely no difference!); 
      

Swap-out the Pan 
      for a deeper,?air-tubed version from Derale; 
      

Replace all fluid 
      with RedLine Racing Fluid; 
      

?and fresh 
      K&N Filter (internal... never neglect this!) 


    
No more plans till 
    I get time to beef-up the engine more.? Transmission issues are closed 
    for the moment... dead-reliable status already achieved!

I got a few quick questions for everybody. My friend has a 
      1991 Camaro
and he's willing to sell me his 700r4 trans for like a 
      $100. Is there
any difference between that trans and the stock one in 
      my 1993 Ty? If
not, any recommendations on what upgrades to do to it 
      (please specify
brand names) like what torque convertor company to use 
      and is a 3000
stall ok, what shift kit should I use, and what trans 
      cooler should I
use? My Ty is pretty much stock except for minor mods 
      like setting
timing to 0, AFPR, re-routed intercooler lines (removing 
      the metal lines
for hoses), Ultimate chip, Walbro HP pump, scan tool, 
      cap/rotor, Iridium
NGK plugs, 8.5mm wires, etc. My Ty has 104,400 miles 
      on it, ran best of
13.36 @ 101 mph, 1.8? 60'. stock turbo @ 18 psi on 
      93 octane with a
little knock at full throttle (not sure if false 
      because of the
upshifts), fuel pressure @ 54 with vac line off, 32 lb 
      lucas green
stripe injectors. Any and all help welcome. Hope this will 
      create a
little discussion out there. Thanks again.
