PM or go to Aaron92SE's website. I would go for a 2600 or 2800 stall TQ. It should help your 60' alot.

Honestly what are you trying to accomplish?

i'm doing a research of all avaliable options because i'm upgrading my car and a turbo is on the list can't decide if custom or a kit but since i already screw up buying those pos kyb agx i don't want to waste my money on useless crap so since a 5 spd swap is out of question right now my other option is to modify my auto to withstand the abuse

formz

Gotcha. Personally if I were you I'd keep the max a daily driver and buy something you can poor money into.

I have a protorque converter along with a bullet proof tranny that just got doen from maximumtuning. The converter is nice but your gas mileage will drop, say %15 - %20 depending on the stall. It is nice to have and pulls much harder offf the line. Will go to the track soon to do a comparison of the two.

thats the kind of input i'm looking for thanks so much keep me informed but first a few Q's
1 price
2 stall your using
3 you mention bullet proof tranny how much $$ (what makes it bp)
4 vb mod ??
5 what mods u have on your Max

1. price is $475, but i got it for less since i got the bulletproofing done. It usually costs about 4350 for the install. Your looknig at about $900

2. Tach stall was raised from 2200 to 2750

3. a whole lot. evreything from wider clutch bands, high energy frisction clutches to welded pins and drileld holes.

4. valve body mod is a shift kit. it will make your tranny shift super quick

5. Nitrous and the other goodies. The 14.2 was on a slipping tranny without torque converter

i have protorque, got it used for $200, i think they run for around $300 w/ swap. My stall is 2800.Never took it to track but i need better tires to grip so i can get the full effect from the TC. check www.protorque.com . I know the TC helps out the 60' times so 1/4 mile times will be better.

ogparjay

max are worth modding especially if it's your first baby. go for the mod.

how exactly do these things work?

formz

Since you don't want to do your own research I'll do it for you.

Bmr4life

no, i mean how do the high stall torqe one's work. like how are they for normal driving. would you have to give it more gas just to start moving?

formz

It's the point at which your car starts to creap with your breaks on and your foot on the gas.

Bmr4life

how much brake pressure are we talking? just enough to stop the car from moving at idle, or full brakes? what is the stock TC stall rating?
