Did you retune after the gears we might have similar setup im running a TSP stage 4 ls3 cam with circle d 3800 stall 3 inch exhaust i still running stock gears
Juan LSX I just got mine installed with the truetrac diff. If you have a auto, I would recommend going with a torque converter first. I wish I would’ve gotten a T/Q and a cam first before doing minor bolts on and gears. Just my opinion. I’m still in the process of breaking them in but from the time I started driving it I felt the difference.
Yeah I like the 3.91 for my application and how its set up for now. Its a pretty dialed in combo and I believe I've just about squeezed all I can out of it in its current state
Hey there. Im fbos with 3200 circle d stall with 391s. In in talks with my tuner about my cam. I dont even notice the 3200 in the car. Im looking at 3800 to 4000 stall. Just wondering if you notice a big difference just in around town. Does the car rev fairly high before it moves or is it like my 3200...kinda drives normal. Thanks.
@@modernmusclecar1904 I am just now seeing this, sorry for the super late reply! So at low throttle the car is sorta sluggish. At anything about 15%-25% its pretty strong because the converter flashes higher. If you give it full throttle with street tires it breaks loose and starts to get squirrelly at 60mph. With Mickey Thompsons it still hooks decently in warm weather on the street. I'll have to do another video sometime. Check out the rest of the channel for some drag racing videos and to see what it does on a prepper surface.
I'm at 2500 cruising at 75mph. 1st gear the converter flashes to 4800 then shifts at 7600 RPM and drops to 6000, then 2nd to 3rd gear shifts at 7400. 60' time is 1.5 seconds
Thanks! I wouldn't say strain, the converter gets the motor into its powerband, peak torque is made at 5k rpm, and it shifts at 7700rpm. But the valvetrain has been beefed up to handle it. Trans temps stay below 180. I have TSP 2" long tubes on it with dumps. Consistent 60' in the 1.5x territory.
Thanks. I like it. It definitely doesn't drive like stock, with my cam and combo. The rpms are more to the right, and it gets there quick. Off the line it flashes to 4800 rpm and redlines at 7600 rpm.
@@Curtis.GLRRacing because of my power level, trans, and gears for my current combo. I have squeezed as much power as I intend to NA with this, and by the time I Procharge it, I will be working with a TH400 with a 6000 stall non-lockup converter.
The best I could manage so far is 11.079 @ 122.99 mph. I have some more mods planned for next fall so hopefully I can get to the track and get into the 10s before boost. Heres the 11.079 run against a '17 Stingray. ruclips.net/video/pz27Zq54t_E/видео.html
Luckily c1500 1991 come with 3.91 gears but the stall makes a big difference
Shifts like my wife's 4 cycle equinox....

Yeah I got my cam, converter and gears all in one and got tuned
Thinking of doing the 3.91 gears on my camaro, how do you like them so far? You recommend them?

I have a 14 1LE. The car comes with 3.91. Did you just swap the rear end in?
I was thinking of installing this with headers.
What rpm are you at on highway speed like 75-80mph. And how is 1st and 2nd gear in your car
I'm at 2500 cruising at 75mph. 1st gear the converter flashes to 4800 then shifts at 7600 RPM and drops to 6000, then 2nd to 3rd gear shifts at 7400. 60' time is 1.5 seconds
That car is very very loud
Look like it puts a lot more strain on the motor? Not sure what setup you are running but it sounds amazing what headers are you running?

@chrisss8512 what stage cam?
@@chrisss8512how do you get your trans temp to stay under 180?

It's a work in progress! Sitting at 3,550 lbs without driver at the moment!
@@chrisss8512 that’s very light for a 5th Gen bro, nice
How do you like it? Nice setup sounds like a ripper, Thanks for posting always wondered how the rpm was at cruising, seems to drive like normal!!

Is that a 3 disc lockup or Single
Its a CircleD 5C. Single disk lockup
@@chrisss8512 why did you go with that over 3 disk

Nice! Is the speedometer accurate?
Thanks, yep the speedo calibration was done with the dyno tune at Gwatney Performance by Ben
That's it? 😂
1/4 mile time?
