414 project Update

Hi Guys,

I am having the final bugs fixed:

1. Rear chatter - just needs a bit of lube.
2. POP and BOG at 2k rpm from LT's- PMS computer tune out.
3. Bucking below 2k rpm - PMS computer tune out.
4. Axle noise - Turned out to be the trans! Have the main bearing replaced.
5. 5th gear too high ratio (.64) exaggerates bucking and with my BOG it makes the car feel slow and non-responsive likes its in 7th gear or something - putting in a stock .68 5th. :SNSign:

Thanks for the info KC. I have a g-force t-5 and it was LOUD from the get-go. I had Rick look at it. He was like wooo it shouldnt be that loud..specially in 4th gear. I thought it was the rear but he said "push in the clutch" and sure enough..no noise lol. Rick is doing the work. It is so loud it hurts my ears and is louder than the exhaust.

I have 3.55's. The cam .. I dont like so much in terms of rpm range 3200-6500. I would have rathered 2000-5500. My HP peaks at 5200rpm...but it sounds awesome. If I ever go spyder then the cam might match better. But the fact that I am still under 2k rpm @65mph..with the .64 5th doesn't help. That's why he will change it out to a .68.

I didn't go 3.73 because I like to have more 4th gear....even tho I never wind it out that far...I also figured with the low end TQ I wouldn't want to go higher than that on a street car and it would give me an advantage with less spin-"age." It spins like hell now...well especially in this cold.
