The motor was completely rebuilt about 10K miles ago. The heads have been ported and polished, 218/212 cam, 40# injectors. The TC I *think* is pretty normal, however, I am noty real sure what I have since I have been through 5 transmissions.

I am not going race the car just want a nasty streetable car, I'll let the driver take care of the rest.  :yawinkle:   :rofl;

With a stock converter, the LE 44 is a good choice.
If you up the converter a little,  a ball bearing 60 series would
kick ass. Not cheap, and you may run out of injector, but insanely
fast street car.

I just got off the phone with Limited Engineering and I bought a 60.

The guy told me that the 60 and the 44 were the same price and with my heads and cam the 60 would breathe deeper and better.

Should be here in about 6-8 days.

I actually got me hoses from Brian at GBody parts. Picked up new vacuum hoses while I was there.

Got the new te-60 last night and put it in. I just need the hoses now so I can finish the install.

Hey Rob, is there some sealant that I need to use between the THDP and Turbo?

I'd use a little bit of high temp grease. The heat form the exhaust gasses will
quickly turn it into carbon and make it self sealing. The DP doesn't see the high pressure like the manifolds and crossover pipe do.
