    So how do you really feel about putting in a roll cage lol? I think you're easily going under 9.9 I guess dragging and roll racing are what most muscle car people are into its just the gen6 chassis is also made to run laps, once you get a taste of the drag strip it's too much fun though.

      Depends on the cam spec. If you want to avoid surging on a stage 3 cam, most will swap the converter.

    I have had 2 circle D converters fail within 6 months. The first time it failed it sent debris through my trans and destroyed my clutch. Had a brand new GM clutch installed and circle d sent me a new upgraded race series converter. it only lasted about 30 days. completely fed up with them. I was wondering if you had any issues with yours? I went with a 3200 stall the first time and down to a 2800 the 2nd time.

The plan is to daily driver, autocross 10+ times per year and do a couple road track day. per year. I don't mind changing some parts out including the TC, I just like knowing what I have to do to get the car driving right.

      Rocko Nido it ended up being a connector above the transmission that was super tricky to get connected and one of the prongs inside bent so it wasn’t making a good connection. Bent that back and plugged it in right and it was perfect. Now my reverse isn’t too happy. The whole car shakes when I put it into reverse. Thinking about taking it to the dealership and having them go through it.

    You mean the converter feels looser. So basically you are saying you have to give it more gas compared to stock converter to get it moving....I had a yank PT4000 w/3.23 gears in my 02 SS Camaro. It was loose but it didn't bother me because when you go WOT with a loose converter. Hold on lol :)
