Thanks dude.

I'm not sure that thing will be fun on the street unless you detune it a bit... is it a 358? That won't make crap for power until 6k rpm.

True story: Jmmie Johnson had an SB2 put in his street 1st gen and hated it immediately.... was undrivable on the street.... so he had an LS9 put in.

If it was me I'd at least stroke it to get over 400 cubes (those Sb2 heads have MASSIVE intake ports) and that assumes you have a 358.

Whatever you do, I love it! :thumbsup:

Check craigslist too for the T101. I got mine rebuilt with many fresh parts for $1800.

Yes its a 358, the dyno sheets Danny supplied me with shows it starts to make power at 3300 and up. We'll have to see how it eats first.

and when i mean street use I don't mean daily driver.. :D

Matt.

Yeah I guess it's an option but I'd rather use a T101 or Jerico with that motor. Proven combos.

Really? If you can post the dyno, I'd love to see it.

If you are turning 9800 rpm, you don't have many choices.

Might never see that, I don't think I have the nuts to try it LOL... but 8500 is a different story

Well im happy I dodged the kiesler bullet...

Thanks guy!

Just picked up an MVE NC 500! (T101A just bit of differences)

thanks to Dave for the help and everybody else who warned me!

Very cool. I think it's a better matched trans for your engine.

What are the gear ratios?

Racing Junk or ebay I assume?

Sieg 04-16-2012 08:48 PM

Good deal Matt, best of luck going forward. :thumbsup:

badmatt 04-17-2012 04:39 PM

Dave: Ebay
1st 2.88
2nd 1.75
3rd 1.35
4th 1:1

should work well with either the 3.89's or even 4.10's (leaning on 4.10's for awesome 80mph rolling burn outs)
