A Day at the Dyno.

Also the length of hose to the maf is very important.

Gav,

I love it. The 6L80E is handling it with ease. Prior to having the dyno tune after I had the cam installed, it was running really rich and stalled a lot when gears were selected. Since the tune, I haven't had any problems at all and don't need a stall converter for my driving purposes.

Very good, not surprising that it wasn't running well after you had the cam fitted it is a different animal from your old one!
Your box will handle alot more than you are asking of it, the 6l80e boxes are based on the old TH400 and will handle what the supercharged engines are capable of.
A stall converter will not turn your car into a pig to drive, if it is bogging down a bit when you mash it from idle the higher stall speed will help it get up to its power band sooner.
I have a 2800 stall, it still has its torque converter lock up and drives very well down low.
Worth a thought if you have the car apart at any point down the track.

If he has the car apart down the track he can do the proper thing and whack in a 0rpm stall converter and a T-56

Yeah I spose, as Baz gets older he may want to de-tune it.

Thanks for sharing.

The MAFs on the post LS1 motors are waaaay better. My last ride was mafless, Im seriously thinking of retaining the maf this time around. (SSV)
