sorry my english is very very very bad but i try

 

Welcome aboard.

I've seen worse English from "educated" Americans.

That's a pretty healthy package. Probably well over 350 horsepower. With sufficient stall from the torque converter, 1/4 mile times in the low 13's, or high 12's with better gears and traction.

 

that tijme is great for now ...
350hp on the wheels????

 

welcome to the boards!

sounds like a sweet ride you have there, any pics?

 

my car feb. 04


old 350ci out of the bird

 

how much stall do you think y need ?

 

how much stall do you think i need ?

 

You'll probably need to stall in the 3000 RPM range. You'd know better if you have a dyno sheet, but without that you have to judge how the engine acts in the car.

You'll know you don't have enough stall if the engine acts a little sluggish off the line until RPMs build up and then it takes off. Mine needed 3000 RPMs even though all of the "powerband" information indicated it should have been less. Relatively small engine is the reason, in my case.

 

right obove the "reply" button, there a "edit post" button.

that way dont have to reply just to fix a typo

 

i now

i have a internet conection probrems went i reply and because of that i replay twice the massege sorry

 

Would he be better off changing the rearend gears, then running the car and at that point making a decision on the converter?
