Stage 3 upgrade from brenspeed
Well I finally got my car back and all is good in the world of performance as far as my car is concerned. With the new upgrade with the torque convertor the car is just a beast. People really are amazed when I give them a ride b/c of the torque they feel.
I do have some questions though. With the stage 3 saleen they should be pushing around 470 but Im only getting about 450 to the wheels. I know that 410's and torque convertor take away those gains. But I guess I didnt think it would be that much. Like I said the car is still amazing and I know the track is what matters. I have to wait till next year to see if im in the 11's. Should be. So why does a torque convertor take away. When I first had that installed it made an undbelievable difference.
So really now I dont have a whole lot to do unless I do some different shocks and struts. Maybe a driveshaft as I still have the stocker. As far as more horses Im gonna have to get a B302 if I decide to continue on with the build. Its been fun. Watching the car morph into my beast that my old man cant hardly believe even in his GTO days. I wanted to thank everyone here for always giving my good advice.

The one piece is in the works here sometime soon along with better rotors and hawks brake pads which I already have. I'd like to do shocks and struts but not sure bc I don't want a ride that's harsh. Although I have heard konis r good
