Brian Tooley (BTR) Stage 4 Camshaft and supporting modifications, 10% Underdrive Pulley, Speed Engineering Longtube Headers into a Borla Catback. UMI Rear LCA's/PHB/LCARB's/SFC's and Bilstein B6 Pro Shocks.

Great video with a lot of info. I am surprised you didn't add a BMR adjustable torque arm bar when you did the install and some 4.11 gears instead of the 3.92. When ever I get around to having a 12 bolt installed in my 01 WS6 I will also add a stronger driveshaft, but I don't know if I will go with an aluminum or a carbon fiber. I love my T/A, but for now it is on the back burner while I have fun with my challenger redeye.

I will add a torque arm down the road. Leaning towards the UMI or MWC unit when the time comes. The 3.91 gear is a really happy medium for a car that you'll use on the highway a lot.

I hope you plan on replacing that Stamped Steel Garbage TRQ Arm...lol. I went with the BMR Adj one plus the M6 Cross Member that relocates the TRQ Arm Mounting off the tail shaft of the Trans. Dont no regrets spending the money there. Im running a Moser 12 Bolt with larger Axles, C-Clip Eliminator 4:10 through a Detroit Trutrack. I did have a full spool for a while. But I'm not much of a drag race guy so I took it out. Nice Vids man. I eliminated TC on my car as well. EDIT: I really like those wheels

@@Greenlightfilming No, I made sure my Pinion Angle was good. I noticed on my car at least with a 2in drop that even when I adjust my lca in the back up or down a hole in my brackets my PA is stays within spec. I did have like a rubbing sound going over bumps and it took me a while to find out where it was. With the BMR T56 cross member with TRQ Arm relocation you have to trim part of the mounting bracket at the rear end for it to mount into the 2nd set of holes on the Moser 12 Bolt. I have an older Moser 12 bolt so I'm not sure if it's still that way or not. It cured its rubbing immediately. LoL.althought not long after I started getting a vibration in 5th-6th gear from 65-85mph. Discovered that the 5-6 cluster which is pressed on had worked lose.

Well I enjoyed that, you're a patient mechanic, I would never attempt that by myself. I have a 2000 W68 V6 Firebird that is equipped from the factory with G80 and GU6, the latter being the 3.42 final drive, the car does not have traction control. I am a bit skeptical about the use those tubular lower control arms, how can you know for sure that the additional torsional loads applied to the stamped steel mounting brackets are not too much for them. Plus the whole suspension is tuned for the flexing of the 3-sided stamped steel LCAs. What are you going to do with the aluminum driveshaft, how much is it worth?

The traction control and speedometer are probably two separate issues. Your rear end will have sensors for ABS/TCC or it won't. The speedometer reads the output shaft of the transmission. You can set the speedometer in HP Tuners to compensate for non-factory rear tire height and a swapped rear gear.

Very informative video. You were explaining when the reluctor wheel spins the magnetic pick up reads a sine wave. Sine wave as I know it is a/c voltage and cars are d/c. Am I missunderstanding something? Let me know so I can understand this better. Great video.
@Greenlightfilming 4 жыл бұрын
The best of my understanding is that the way these sensors function is is like a sine wave because of the inductance of the reluctor wheel as it passes the magnetic pickup. Cars do run on nominal 12vDC charging systems, yes. However, a subsystem could definitely utilize a signal like this that the ECU would be able to interpret, much like a crank trigger. Some components of late model cars also use serial/data links to make modules communicate. Its not all entirely archaic DC electronics.

Hi, I'm getting ready to put in a QP 9" rear W/Strange center section. currently running 3.73 posi . 11.80 @114 with Cheney LS1. Do you know of a source for backing plates, since I would like to sell my 10 bolt complete. Hope to see you at BIR or the Rock.

I would recommend keeping the brakes/backing plates from your car. They aren't super cheap to replace and OEM backing plates are tough to find.

Going to upgrade the rear in my built 2002 Collector Edition Trans Am WS6 Manual eventually. Do you think the Strange steel driveshaft is a necessity ? I'll probably go with 3.91's too.

I would highly recommend it. The factory aluminum ones are known to twist up and shred like a pop can with hard launches. My steel one is good for around 800hp.

great video, I was curious, how hard is it to remove the parking brake cables?

It's not that bad. Just need to get the right grab on them and they will come out. You'll figure it out when you look at the clips.

Nice install. I love doing this stuff to my trans am in my garage. How much did the strange 12 bolt cost you??
@Greenlightfilming 4 жыл бұрын
They arent cheap, that's for sure. It was about 30% off of a "new" price for everything.

@@Greenlightfilming this is my 3rd 4th generation I've owned...and built... But this trans am needs alot of love... I bought the car from a kid in his 20s. And he was into radio and subwoofers and neon lights underneath the car. So when I bought this car I knew it was going to be a project. From front to back.... I need to do Minor body work and then a complete new paint job. The kid painted the car Black with way tooooo much metal flake..... I'm a proud owner of a 07 Z06 it's my baby... But I'm into building 4th generation f Body's... And this project trans am I bought is going to be just that... A complete remake over... It's going to take a couple years to complete. But she's going to look awesome. I'm installing a four point cage and keeping the back seats in... It's going to be mild engine build. Cam heads header's catback system. It's going to be a show car when complete...

GreenLightFilming I think I’m gonna need a Ford 9inch because I plan making 900-1100 hp to the crank so to the wheels around 840-1050 whp

Might be ok if you are running an auto. Stick cars are a lot tougher on parts. Think the numbers I mentioned are for m6 cars. Could be wrong.
@GreatestHITS26 4 жыл бұрын
GreenLightFilming yeah probably because I have a 4l60e and the power I want will destroy that trans. I plan on going TH400 or 4l80e

Makes sense to me. Lots of people use both of those transmission making toye level of power. Either is probably a good choice.
