stuff some compression in it, give it the cam it wants, the small bore aint helping either.

Honestly that converter should stall higher than it does, our 8" in our 306 car goes well over 6000, and yes its set up a bit different but still.

Put some power in it and the right converter it will fly..............dont blame the tranny beacause its not at fault.

Alky will crutch it.

If it's a box stock 1150, just jetting up might not be the solution. Without the proper metering blocks, etc, jets alone won't get you there. Been down that road, trust me..... Idea

misunderstood, the aftermarket blocks are heavier than a stock one, but a big bore makes the aftermarket block lighter than one that is a small bore.

Even the big bore aftermarket block is heavier than a factory one.

idt or svt? the idt's 4.500 standard bore sounds good for starters.
