Hey my dad has a 1994 mustang gt, auto w/ bolt-ons. I can't remember all the crap he has but minor bolt ons stock auto i believe he has 3:55's or 373's, best time he got was like 14.3 or 14.4 but he wants to change out convertor whats the next step up that could help his car lower the e.t

Its a street car , provide make/model specs,etc. thanks

Oh im talking about the torque convertor for the auto, heh im so consumed w/ the tech for the new mustangs i dont know **** for the older ones esp auto.

Edgeracing.com I bought a cheap 2800 stall that was a joke, I called up Edge racing and bought a 3400 9 1/2 inch stall and could not be happier.....When you call tell them what you have and they will recommend the stall.......don't go cheap as you will regret it.......Mike, GreenLX also has a contact for a solid stall.....

IIRC it was around $650.00. But trust me it was worth every penny....after I did my HCI and then the cheapo stall ($300.00)...I was not happy, once I installed the Edge I pulled out the drive and punched it and knew right away it was worth it, dropped my time in the 1/4 over 6 tenths of a second.....

Click to expand...

I tried the site a few times to and didn't get it....hope they are not out of business, maybe the site is down..hopefully..

Labor ... since the tranny and mid have to be dropped or at least pulled back....maybe upwards of $300.00 but that is a guess....not hard to do, just time consuming...you and dad could knock it out with hand tools in 1/2 day....

stock stall I am not sure of....under 2K......but I can't give a "real" sure answer....

pi stallion and believe me you get what you pay for!i've tried others and it was a long expensive journey.my 2002 gt and my 94 f-150 now both have pi converters(single disk in the stang and a multi disk in the truck)!how many stock motor,automatic equipped mustangs running n/a do you know of that can cut 1.70 60' times on nitto's?and that's with just 3.73's and b-springs,no other aftermarket suspension parts!

As others have said, don't go cheap. If somebody is building you one, then it should be fine (edge, pi, ultimate converter, etc).
