Hey all,
So I've been thinking about it lately that I've put some good money and time into my engine and transmission, but really cheaped out on a torque converter. Right now I've got a 360 small block with: stock heads, 9.5:1 compression, 204/dur cam with 109 lobe separation and .450 valve lift (baby cam), 4-barrel carb. Then a stock 904 with a TF-2 shift kit in it for extra pep. Rear end is a 8.25 w/ 3.23 gears with 225/60/15 tires on 15x8 wheels. Stock suspension locations and everything.
In short, it's a cruiser, made for driving around and enjoying the road and highways. Now on most posts I've seen people running higher-HP bruisers that really do benefit from a higher stall. Is there any benefit in me going away from the bone stock TC application? Mind you I haven't really been able to drive it yet (transmission issues getting fixed) so I can't say how it drove around with a stock TC to begin with. Has anyone spent the money on a cruiser like mine? Let me know your input, thank you!
