hi everyone, i have a 89 camaro 350 tpi and i just want to put in it a zz4 cam, i just look it for one in good price, but here in my local junk yard, i found a torque converter from an s10, and i read that if i put it in my car will work really whell, since i have the stock gears (2.77) will this work well?? or is not good?? the zz4 cam, with tc around 2200 rpm and the stock gears??? thanks for the help.....

 

I was running a zz4 cam with a 2400 stall converter with 2.77 gears for about a month. Then I swapped in a 3.27 rear end. The car ran fine with 2.77 gears but I didn't drive it long enough to really say whether or not it was ideal. If you can afford and install cams and converters, a used 9 bolt with a better gear should be a walk in the park. I'd do THAT before the cam!

 

In my mostly stocker I went from the 2:77 rear to a 3:23, pretty amazing increase in overall performance. That would be the first thing I'd change.

 

so the car works fine whit this??? or what happend, better whitout the torque converter?? thanks for the advice..

 

this question is because i dont have a lot of money since i'm a student so, i hear that zz4 cam is a nice upgrade and the tc from the junk yard is really cheap.... but if i need to change the gears... for the moment i think is not a good idea to go with a bigger stall....
