Subject: Re: Game Plan for 1996 Impala SS by Danspeed1 on 2009/1/3 22:49:44 I read through the comments. I agree with losing the high stall converter. I noticed that the lighter cars take higher stall well but a car that is 4500lbs is a pain with a converter that high. Whats interesting is that I see alot of people on the ImpalaSSForum running the yank 3600SS converter. Thats a 3600 stall; and no complaints. I don't get it. I do however like the slight improvement over the stock 12in 1800 stall converter, so rather than swapping it, I think I will just have my 9.5in re-stalled at 2400, and tightened up. I have no complaints about the gears, except for the fact that on decel from 40-30MPH you can hear a noise; sounds like tires slowing down quickly on cement/concrete. But most people who have seen the pattern say it is almost dead on so I am not too sure what to do about that. My next mod, which will be coming within the month will be a new aluminum driveshaft from Denny's. I've got the dreaded vibes. I am confident I could probably build a motor myself, with a little bit of refreshing in certain areas. My origional plan was to go with a moderate Llyod Elliot port on a set of Aluminum vette heads, and a cam... and call it a day. I figured I could squeeze 350 Wheel HP out of that and still retain most drivability. Does anyone on here have any experience with Transgo... I have a couple of questions??? DG |
