RE:Loose convertor/4.11s?
By Mike McQuesten - 04/17/2001 12:49:28 PM; IP 206.193.0.124
This is a great running street Mustang! Nice to see a mild cam and not some radical thing loping along. A lot of good suggestions. Just a couple of thoughts. The higher stall convertor? I've had two in street cars. If you don't drive on the street too often and racing at the strip is real important? The convertor will help along with slicks. But I don't like the loose convertors on the street. I've had a TCI Dominator I think is what it was called. It stalled at 2,800 with a 428 CJ. It was "doggy" from a light on the street. I also ran a B&M 3,000 stall w/351W/C-6 years ago and hated it on the street too. I really like the crisp feel of a stock stall convertor. I've also run 4.11s w/C6 and don't like that either. How about 3.89s/3.91s? Much easier to live with and easier on that strong 390. Maybe consider an oil cooler with these steeper cogs.
My one suggestion..BF Goodrich Radial street slicks. Or M&H DOT approved street drag tires. I've run M & H G60 X 15 on 7" rims. They give nice bite off the line and you can drive to the strip and back with them.
This thread, so far...
