Hi everyone, first post, been reading the forum for a bit decided to join. So my car is 86 cutlass, I built a 72 olds 350 for it last winter. It's 9.6:1 comp 7a heads, schneider cam ([email protected], 270adv) headers 2.5" exhaust and edl 600 and rpm intake. I put a 4 spd in it also it's a super t10 with the 2.43 1st gear. My issue is the trans with the high 1st gear and my 3.23 rear end is a dog off the line with my engine. My 60' time was a 2.21 dumping the clutch at 4500rpm(also that was with the old worn out q jet better now with the edelbrock) same as the year before with a th350 and 8:1 olds 350. The 4spd is tired and no od sucks even with 3.23 gears, 3 grand at 70. I'm debating whether to put a 200-4r in, mild built with say 3000 stall, or just put a tko500 in. Car sees the track maybe 1 or 2 times a year but I do beat on it a bit in between. Having never driven a car with a decent converter in it, what can I expect? Or is the tko my best bet already having a blow proof bell and 26 spline clutch with the st10? All suggestions, info and experiences with either trans much apreciated, awesome forum, thanks
