I upgraded my diff to a 3.73 gear and YankSS3200 stall. I may do top end rebuild in the future with a strong midrange cam. 3200 stall was chosen because I do HPDE once in awhile. With this setup,...

Maybe just start with something simple, try topping the trans off with fluid, maybe it’s low. Good news, it still shifts, right? But, sadly, most autos are on borrowed time with a supercharger. ...

For everyday driving and for most cams, 3200 converter is enough. Your only going to want a bigger converter if your going for a launch from a dig with a drag radial tire. But, I’m not the expert. ...

If you ever plan on doing an HPDE, you can use hawkHP600, you can use it for the street and track. I use it. Synthetic vs non synthetic, I don’t think it matters.
