so i might as well forget about going anywhere in the rain... its unreal, cant even go straight lol

 

haha

 

Ok guys, I need to know what is THE BEST thing to put under my carpet to keep the engine and tranny heat OUT? something like dynamat, but i dont see that being very good for heat

 

Well, theres always 4WD

 

I installed some thick under carpet matting - from the carpet store - That's why it's hard to here my truck running with the windows shut. No heat - my stereo sounds awesome after doing that

 

ya i wish i had that yesterday at 1am (damn mud)

 

NICE... lol

 

yea I guess its getting that time of the year, I need to slap the 4.10s in the front axle soon!

 

u have nothing to worry about. by the time i get to do my motor swap i'll be outside freezing my *** of in the snow changing engines cause the bay isnt tall enuff to hoist an engine over my lifted truck. even then its too full of crap like sheetrock n stuff. oh did i mention itll be snowing here in a few weeks n im doin the same swap? lol

 

yeah have fun with that. I remember it was in the 20's when I Did my head swap a while back.

 

Just put the 3.55's back in the rear and you won't be spinning everywhere. 4.10's are too tall for that much power

 

Disagree. It's the tranny ratios in 1st & 2nd that are gonna be a far larger effect on overall ratio....

LOTS of Roush I/C'd S/C trucks runnin' around here with 4.10's.

It's a tire / available traction issue, not a rear gear issue. And a launch technique issue.

Ask yer tuner to add a bit more torque management LOL!

Positive displacement blower = torque everyhere

 

4.10s are staying. I dont want to loose the low end power when im out of boost. I'll learn how to launch, just haven't went WOT from a dig yet.

 

I spent a bundle on Hush Mat - like Dynomat - it helped deaden the sound, but I still have more cab heat than I would like. I did the floor, up to the back window, and as high as I could on the front wall. No help with the temps.

The 1 & 2 ratios can be changed (in effect) with a higher stall converter. I just put in a 3,200, and it's fun, but I have no traction. Bigger and better tires shortly.

 

yeah I have a 2000 stall, it seems to do me just fine, I Love it, just when im actually racing, slicks and a little feathering will get it done. I think the 31x14x16 M&H's will give me some stick
