Circle d make a decent one... 3200 stall for about $350 speedracer on here might have my old one, don't think he used it

Matts94Z28 · 05-23-2011, 05:48 PM

Circle d x2.

bwelch · 05-23-2011, 06:00 PM

I had a yank 3600 and loved it.

PapaBear · 05-23-2011, 06:47 PM

Sweet....I guess I'll add that if you have one laying around I might be interested as well!

How much of a pain is it to install? And will I need tune updated for it?

Matts94Z28 · 05-23-2011, 06:49 PM

It's not bad as far as installation goes. It can be done in a day if you have some mechanical ability. Just be sure to seat it all the way on the shaft or you will have some issues!

A tune will help.

Well im AWD and I hate working on vehicles in this wretched heat so I will probably pay for install. I have the know how and tools and all but fuck I hate this heat.

Anyone wanna throw me a price on the install? Gearmesh?

csikx · 05-23-2011, 08:02 PM

Yank FTW.

Silver-Dollar · 05-23-2011, 08:34 PM

Do you still have the stock cam? If yes, I would not do more than a 3200. And definitely look into a Yank. I have had two of them. A TT2600 in the stock 5.3 and now a ST3200 behind a near stock 6.0.

PapaBear · 05-23-2011, 08:58 PM

Well $725 for the Yank or 375$ for the circle D.......and both get great reviews. Seems to be an easy decision. Knowing me I will want to trade it out soon enough anyways.

Should I go ahead and have the trans built while it's out? Better to have it built or go FLT or RPM trans?

Gearmesh?

i ran a 3600 precision in mine with a stock cam, it was loose like precisions are known to be so i could footbrake it to 3800-4000, it was fun to drive but only got about 8mpg around town, hwy mileage stayed about the same. I picked up .8 in the 8th with no other changes.

and yes you will have to get your shift points adjusted in the tune or it will hit the limiter on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift

1998ta__1991rs · 05-23-2011, 09:04 PM

go with gerald on the trans, mailorder trasmissions dont seem to last too long

gearmesh, inc. · 05-23-2011, 11:07 PM

For a daily driver that won't see the track much, I would aim for about a 2500-2800 stall. That way if you tow a boat for instance, it won't be too loose. Cameron at Torque Converter Services in Columbia makes some of the most efficient stall converters that I have ever come across. Circle D is a very efficient converter, too. Precisions seem to be loosely coupled at rpms above the stall speed, so I tend to shy away from them.

Papa Bear, a pm is on the way to you.

Well, looks like it's headers / plugs and wires / catless Y / circle D 3200 stall / gearmesh built trans time in a couple weeks.

Wish I didn't have $300 in PCM forless tuning already and could afford to find someone local to handle the tuning. Oh well, mail order will work for a while.

Alvin does some good shis.But our local guys can do more custom.

Electech tunes. If you are having all that installed, maybe he and HHP could make up a package deal. Never hurts to ask.

I hear his name, yet can't find anyone who actually had THEIR vehicle tuned by him. Any personal insight?
