12 Hp After Throttle Body Screen Removed

[gtgp97]

yeah i know how engines work but supercharged engines came from the factory with 2.93 gearing and n/a with 3.29...

Well maybe mine was an export version or something, the car does not have a sunroof either. I ordered my parts from http://www.everretchevrolet.com at Washington state and when they requested the VIN number it showed up to be factory equiped with a 3.29 tranny. I kept the old gears in case I decide to install them on the future. That is that.

And BTW this is not an engine issue, this is a tranny issue. Does not matter what tranny you have installed the engine redline will be no matter what 6k rpms. The tranny gearing dictates the top speed or what engine rpms at any given speed.

im commenting on what ripn said....and you saying it would not hurt the engine to hold speeds over 100.....so gearing has alot to do with this and what engine you have dictates overall gearing. No to mention going that fast for long period of time cant be good for tranny heat. if an engine is at 3500 or more for an extended period of time i think you should expect problems

Well I know that the overall gearing is dictated by the tranny gears and tranny diferential final gear output ratio, regardless of the engine driving the tranny. And I agree with you that a hot tranny is not good. I have read that a tranny that is hotter than 225degf is asking for trouble.
I know that depending on driving conditions is the heat you are going to develop tranny wise. A tranny would be a lot hotter climbing a moderate hill at 50mph than doing 50mph on a straight. I know now why Ripn12s have a TFT dial on his car. Depending on the reading is the LD that he puts on it. If you have the right gear ratio, a straight road, and the correct weather(a cool day) you can keep your tranny under 205degf, your engine below 3500rpms and the speed around ~95 for an extended period of time.

can this be done to a 3.1 ? it looks likes thes 2 gaskets in there or something but i have not taken it apart yet

Have u taking the fduct off the throttle body? Is there a metal screen in the throttle body, infront of the throttle plate? If so Im sure you can, just need a snap ring pleirs or 2 nails.

there was no screen on mine. although it was quite dirty i cleaned it all out and made it all shiny, which then i went crazy and cleaned the whole engine(took about 5 hrs) and then bam there was the ups man with my cold air intake(bought it on e-bay for like 65 bonez). I thought to myself dam that was some good timing. needless to say i was running 15.5's with my chip and now it sounds much deeper. will post slips when i go to open drag at milan.

I know 15.5's isnt the fastest but i have an audiobahn 18'' ultra high excursion and 2 custom 280oz12'' volfenhag pro's not the little thousand watt ones, and an ma audio 4000 watt hc amp.
-ALL highs thanks to mb quart.-
