Re: Potential kills older as in 80's model or older as in 60/70's model ?

Re: what works ? i wasnt saying that i want to spend $1500 on a sy ty rebuild. im saying that places around here want $1500 to rebuild the tranny in my 86 C10 ( daily driver ) with stock components so i can only imagine what these local guys woudl charge to rebuild a sy ty tranny with...

Re: what works ? i have a serious problem with getting rid of my GTO for a truck that chances are im gonna end up blowing the stock tranny. how much hast obe spent to get a tranny that will handle what i can throw at it ? has anyone done a tranny swap in these to say a turbo 400 ? assuming it...

Re: what works ? thats the hard part. where i live i dont think anyone has a clue as to what these trucks are. i have a 86 c10 thats a daily driver with a 700r4 and ive got quotes of $1500 just to rebuild it ( stock tranny ) nothing special. if you look online at tranny shops they will sell you...

what do you guys do to beef up the trannies in your sy/ty's ? ive been looking online at several places that have a "performance" kit that will handle up to 500 HP and 500 ft/lbs of torque. if tese dont work what will ?

Re: how will it run thats what i didnt understand i have looked at bosot controllers before and they were tlaking about adjustable boost levels,limiting turbo spikes, this, that, and the other. i didnt knwo if you lower the boost output if it wouldnt make it as hard on the motor when youre...

Re: yellow ty in indy i never cought the guys name but we were stopped at halls and i went over with my roomiw to check it out and he was really rude to us. ive been to car shows a lot and i know DO NOT touch anyone elses truck/car. i was just lookign in the engine compartment and wasnt even...

Re: Potential kills didnt they put a LS2 in the new SSR's ? i havent looked at a newer one to see if the body has changed at all.

Re: newb with questions ive seen rebuild kit that makes a 700R4 hold up to 500hp and i forgot how much torque but it was a lot. why dont people use these ? it kinda sucks that its jsut one part that goes wrong in the tranny.

Re: newb with questions thats pretty impressive. i can see why you went thru your share of trannies.

Re: newb with questions but the sy/ty is a sleeper so i coudl get more races. the ricers/imports just make noise with the fart cannons and wont race.

Re: newb with questions its not my money that will buy it. i have a 69 GTO Judge that my dad wants (he had a 68 growing up) and i told him that if he gets me a sy/ty ill trade him for the GTO. i see you guys use ATR stuff on these trucks a lot. is this company the best of the best for these...

Re: Stock Twin Turbos? if your engines toast then why put twin turbos on it ? thatll just make matters worse.

Re: how will it run what i meant by that is if you get a good boost controller its suppsoed to limit spikes and how much boost the turbo will give off (both max and min)right ? well if you have a fuel pump, bigger injectors, and a chip that are setup to run more fuel to keep up with a bigger...

Re: hp rating? i think theres a reason why they went auto with the turbo. consider the grand nationals and turbo T/A's. how are you gonna spool up the turbo for launch with a stick and not get too high in the RPM's. its possiable but easier for a auto. im a pontiac guy so i know how you guys...

Re: newb with questions

Re: newb with questions Jimmy, if you think these trucks are a hunk of shit then why own one ? ill take it off your hands with no problem if you really feel this way.

Re: newb with questions i understand what you guys are saying but assuming you do some prevantative matinence (turbo timer,bov,good boost controller,boost guage,tach,a/f meter) it should be fine right (until i do some upgrades) ? i know you guys are getting decent times from these trucks (low...

Re: newb with questions i know how old these trucks are. thats why im asking you guys as to what i should watch out for. im sure as he** not gonna spend $15,000 for a truck that needs $5,000+ in matinence. when i do look at a truck i need advice on what should raise red flags. as rare as these...

Re: newb with questions i shoudl say how would you go about checking these parts to see if theyre ok or not ?
