If one would try that I would think they would go 455 :D Course I have no idea how that thing would handle around a corner. Would be one hell of a ride though.:cool:

That's not factory though.:D I've actually overheard guys at the track telling there buddies that GNs are fast because they are 1) Turbo V8s, 2) Twin Turbo V8s, and 3) Twin Turbo V6. I had one guy actually ask me where the other turbo was or if I'd taken it off and why. :rolleyes:

I'm running recap tires with a #45 compound on them. I've been trying to leave by bringing the boost up to about 1-2psi, then getting the second light(staged) lit up on the tree. I hold it there until the last yellow lights up then I mash the gas and dump the brake. Plain and simple, for me at...

Anybody have any ideas on what to check or look for?? Any ideas on what is causing this problem??

About the servo, I guess I should have bee more specific. The local guru and I have talked about him redoing the valvebody, if he can find time, which he really doesn't have. He just mentioned that he would need the valvebody and the servo. I didn't think about it the other day before I put the...

The tranny was rebuilt by Level 10 about 2 years ago. I've never messed with the tv cable settings, but was told the car had the wrong cable on it, but was adjusted pretty close. I would have to put the shifter in second while at the dragstrip to be able to keep it from short shifting. The...

What parts are involved in the adjustment of shift points? Would the incorrect spring in the tv circuit have anything to do with it? I have a BQ valvebody and the correct 86-87 tv cable. When I set the cable to GM spec (pull cable back, push pedal to the floor), I barely get one click out of it...

Pretty close. In IL, about a 15 minute drive to Gateway. You?

Ok, I put a new, 86-87 TR, BRF tv cable on the car(87 GN). It took 14 clicks to get it to shift right. And while at the track, I noticed it doesn't hold first as long as it did, only to about 4100, then second lasts longer than it did, but it's still short. So short it drops into 3rd and the...

I had a converter from BGC in my car too. While I never noticed a problem with it, after another problem, I pulled the tranny and converter. I had the converter cut open to check for damage and found that 8 of the fins had torn loose. I wouldn't exactly call it a red stripe, maybe an orange...

So it basically does come down to the vb. So does that mean that you could literally take ANY 2004r, throw a BRF valvebody(or TTA or BQ8) and then have a good TR tranny shop rebuild, and then be set?I agree that time, money, and patience can fix anything, but in my case, I've been dealing with...

I never thought about the 89 TTA tranny, so that would explain the TAF I saw for sale here. But that still leads me to think that I had better get a BRF (BR3) or TAF, if I could find one. Is there any other way or ways that I can check if the valvebody I have is correct other than the BR3...

I had been told previously that I didn't have the correct tv cable, so I got a new one, but it took 14 clicks(out about 3/4 of an inch) to get it shifting right(using feel and the GM chart for a BR coded tranny, ie 1-2 14mph, 2-3 22mph, 3-4 43mph.....mine is now 1-2 14-15mph, 2-3 20-22mph, and...
