Yes you're right. The internals are different.
I notice it's a lot peppier now. Almost like lower gears.
Revs about 500 rpm higher stall....... 3000 rpm...... it used to be 2500 rpm stall.
Wow it really burns rubber now!!
It also seems to have more power now in the upper rpm all the way to 6000 ...

My surprise was having the 258mm instead of the 245mm which I thought was standard for the supercharged version of the 3.8L

So that means the 245mm was standard in the NA 3.8L
I thought smaller equals higher stall. My stock stall speed was 2400 rpm.
Confused!
Are there any gurus left on this forum ...

So after only 4 years and 8,000 kms my torque converter clutch locked up and failed throwing code PO742

This time instead of opting for a standard Canadian sourced unit, I ordered the ZZP 2500 rpm stall heavy duty unit from the US.
Of course this doubled the cost of the unit due to shipping and ...

Well if you listen to the Democrats, we will all be forced to drive EV's in just a few years.
Anyone still driving gas engine vehicles will be forced to pay HUGE insurance costs...... but fuel will be dirt cheap!

One more month of driving the Bullet..... :banana:

Up to almost 50,000 miles now..... getting old, LOL :beerchug:

The race clutches in the transmission are holding out under the clouds of burning tire rubber, LOL :booty2:

I so love turning up the timing advance to 20 degrees with 12 psi ...

......so has anyone found any info on this Australian set up?
It works amazing for him and the Demon uses a similar system......

The switch is not the problem. The ground inside the projector for the light dimming sensor is bad......there is a post for a fix.....

poverty forces one to do unorthodox things

Because the bean counters don't want anyone keeping a car longer than the warranty or ten years max.
You know they only stock parts for 10 years then rely on the aftermarket.
Another reason.........just like why they hate Trump........it doesn't support the Liberal Capitalist agenda.
I can't buy ...

3.4" but you really should add an aeroforce scan gauge to monitor KR after heat soak conditions

My ALC relay has failed a couple of times. Check yours. Even GM couldn't diagnose it.....

I don't think installing a 3.4" pulley with your mods will hurt.

I had the Intense shift kit installed years ago.
During my recent transmission overhaul, a TransGo shift kit was installed.
The torque converter had failed and the input piston was worn out. Total mileage was 45,000 miles.
It shifts fine now but the most noticeable change in shift quality came from ...

Do still have the G8?

Well I'm fully invested again with the Bullet! 44,000 miles on her now!
:bwoohoo:
After last springs OverKill tune finally destroyed the 16 years old transaxle, I decided not to scrap it and spent mucho peso's on a rebuild, new tires and now replacing the ancient sound system.

I must say I am ...

If you are frustrated it means you need a release usually the release is in the form of money out of your wallet.

Finally got it back after 3 weeks in the shop. This transmission guy really knows his stuff.
The new steering shaft tightened it up and can't feel any clunking or vibration.
Overall it's like I just drove it off the showroom floor. Note when I first bought this car it was on the showroom floor ...

Son of a xxxxx! Now I have to replace the radiator and aux tranny cooler!! Sparkles are not clearing up!! *dang*!!
The good news is the tranny rebuild is almost done......as is my budget!

I never learn......should have scrapped it.

Haha that's cause I priced out three potential equivalent replacements.
Better the devil you know...... And after 16 years she deserves a spa treatment.
Don't tell my wife that!
