big mod time
here we go. its winter time and the stang is safely in her garage for a while, so its the perfect time to make changes. i have heads ready for install and i need cams, for the cams i want i need 3.55 gears or higher and a stall converter (which i still am cloudy on cuz when i look to buy one all i get is torque converter for auto. and i have a 5-speed <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0"> ) but now the question, when the heads go in i want 24# injectors to go in and i need to know what all needs changed for this little jump. can anyone tell me what i need or what im getting myself into. and will this be a good hp/torque jump. thanks again fellas

If you don't know that 5 speeds don't use converters chances are your getting in waaaaaaay over your head doing mods. I hope you were joking.</P>

I just fell over reading this! <IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">LOL</P>
You shouldn't waste your time on 3.55's, they are a waste of gear, especially for the money you'll spend having them installed.</P>

Yep, not really that much of a change. I just went from a 2003 gt with 327's, to a mach 1 with 3.55's, and its about 300 rpms higher per gear... </P>

geeze guys, i really appreciate all the helpful imput. by the way i know im not getting 3.55's, i was just mentioning the cams requirements. what i am getting is 3.73's. and no, i am really not familiar with any sort of converter. all the cam requirements said was 2000+ stall converter, i wasnt sure for manual or auto. so, there u have it.

He didn't say he was looking to get a torque converter, he said he was looking for stall converters and the only thing that comes up in the search is torque converters. You guys need to "lol" too hooked on phonics. <IMG src=smileys/smiley10.gif border="0">Oh I see he said stall coverter and 5s don't use that either. I will go read my hooked phonics right now so sorry <IMG src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">.</P><edited><editID>mabguru</editID><editDate>37970.4183564815</editDate></edited>
