I am working on my malibu that i recently got back after 8 long years . left from me with blown v6 , came back with 355 installed . problem is or so i think . The 200 metric transmission is still in the car . the 355 that was put into it came from another friend of mine . well built motor , ran extremely well in the previous owners rx7 . now 8 years and only 16,000 miles later this motor just doesnt seem to be doing what it did in the rx7 . i know theres quite a weight difference but still should do more than it is . I know everyone is going to throw out there about getting a th350 and so on . My question is , is this 200 metric transmission really holding this motor back that much . list of things ive done in the past couple of weeks since i got the car back .
Removed Holley 670 street avenger - seemed to be dumping to much fuel , replaced with holley 600
Removed old cracked long tube headers - replaced with thicker flanged coated shorty headers
Re-Ran duals - had blown apart cheap turbos , put on welded 40 series thrush
Plugs , wires , cap , rotor button , air cleaner , adjusted roller rockers , changed oil
Car seems slugish , transmission seems to lag when shifting . i have adjusted and readjusted the kick down cable . adjust/tuned the carb .... cant seem to get anywhere with this thing . Will this transmission not work for this motor ?
Any ideas and suggestions would be greatly appreciated .
