Default Daytona's Running Strong

I picked her up Monday and wanted to check her out before posting. She has a noticeable torque gain that really shows up at around 3000rpm and up. The shifts are not thumping but are noticeably different in a good way. It seems to be 7-8 mph faster at my "point A to B seat of the pants" test area. Take off has improved as well as higher rpm kick downs. I was skeptical at first but the stall does give a good noticeable gain. Overall, I'm pleased. I just took this video on the way home, I’ll try to post a better one later.

Thanks guy's. I would like to add this motor is stock with a 194,000+ miles on it. It really needs a 4.56!!

Glad to hear you got it all worked out. What is the stall speed of the converter you put in?

Very cool vid. quick @ss truck. Shouldn't there be a break in period for the tranny? Like not over so many mph, etc. I was just asking. I was told that on my Trans Am I had done, I would just hate for it not to brake in for you properly. Good to know that motor is still running strong at that many miles. Good job bud.

Not with just the converter, its suppose to be race ready right out of the box.

So I take it they finally got it right? Correct part and everything?
