87 - has a kenny motor - TA block etc.. have Jasons downpipe- large IC. Fast ecu- piggyback harness
baileys coil packs etc. Don Cruz fan setup and teflon lines- dual pumps .. so havent skimped that i know of.
motors brand new maybe 100 miles on it now-- havent really been able to get it going as having trans issues
this is a street car and occasional friday nite street drags- but i know its going to get booted once it goes too fast- this car is MINT 12000 orig miles and im not putting a cage in it (at least at this time)
its an art carr trans- rearching now i may not have gone that way but this was all decided on a year ago- bunch of issues but im not blaming anyone just unfortunate circumstances- like original converter was for a lockup and trans has no lockup internals this converter was from PTC- car wouldnt move- then got converter replaced-
when first installed worked fine 1 day - and then next day the converter blew up the torrington bearing in it and put metal thru the valve body- this was last month- (this was a loaned converter from Kenny) pulled trans out for second time and had someone locally go thru it as didnt want to wait 2 weeks to ship back to CPT and miss what was left of summer here- got a new CPT 10" converter non lockup 3000 stall-
now its back together but the shifts are Really soft-- WOT shifts dont seem to work now- TV cable is adj correctly. local guy is saying needs a shift kit but i get the impression this should have better governor pressure and a slightly modified GN valve body already? the shifts are so soft - softer than a 90s caddy -- you can feel it shift all the gears but it just feels like mush..
can i fix this thing with some changes or is it time to pull the plug and order a new trans from one of the other 3 i see mentioned now
Extreme automatics
turbobuickperformance- david
CK
and i see Jason at rjc has some upgrade parts he sells--
this all just came up yesterday so havent had time to call anyone- (if anyone is open on a sat) but im ready to order another trans monday if i cant fix this..
thanks
