    Power 2 the ground

    'Sup fellas! New to the forum and glad to join. I need your wisdom on how to best put horsepower to the rear wheels in an automatic? Is a TCI Streetfighter torque converter and an aluminium driveshaft a good place to start? Also, does anyone know a trustworthy shop in the Tucson/Phoenix area?

    Many thanks....TXBKR

    Yes and Yes. I know squat about TCs but the spydershaft is the best D/S for autos hands down.

    There mods that reduce rotating mass would be a alum flywheel and UDPs. I felt faster with the Flywheel and spydershaft each when they were put in. LCAs, UCA's and other suspension mods are helpful in getting power to the pavement too.
