so what I should get is a tranny cooler, and a shift kit? I really don't want gears right now becuase when I drive home from VA to NJ for holidays and such it takes about 5-6 hours, and I really need all the gas I can get right now.... I'd like to do 4.10's after I graduate and maybe get a beater car.

firmer shifts = more pressure = more heat = less tranny life
id focus on a cooler. a mild stall wouldnt hurt... but it wouldnt do too much for you as your powerband doesnt go that high. instead of the cost for a stall, id go with gears.

I already have a diablosport predator for my car, and I firmed up the shifts through that... so on a nice day I can kick the assend out a lil bit from 1-2... and I weigh in at about 290lbs. ontop of the weight of the stang.

Ive been through several N/A auto mustangs and as far as transmission mods go, Id do a trans cooler first, gears then converter/valvebody. For a n/a car, a converter in the 3400+ range seems to be the choice of most since the torque comes on at about 4200 rpms or so. Boosted cars may use more/less stall depending on what type of blower is used.

RE: 4r70w shift kit
Yeah, I would think that a 3k stall is perfect for a Twinscrew car since torque comes on rather early. I was thinking of a typically modded 2v...exhaust, gears, intake stuff when I was refering to a 3400 stall, but I get your point. I just didnt want him to throw in a 2800 stall and feel like it wasnt enuf and have to send it back for a restall.

how would I benefit from a stall? What exactly does it do?

RE: 4r70w shift kit
but what happens when I pull away from a stoplight??? will it have to rev up to 3000 rpms before it grabs??? Or does it do like a partial grab...
and I'm not trying to snap any axles... and I don't see a set of 31 splines in my future yet.

RE: 4r70w shift kit
If you use street tires, you won't break an axle. The tires will spin before it breaks. Even some Nittos probably wouldn't hurt. Many have even used M/T drag radials and stock axles and got away with it, but it would then be recommended to get stronger axles.
