PearlPower, I am curious how is your TC project turning out..
I hope it is going well. Also you would be a miracle worker if you found a solution to not make the CEL come on.. I remember I called SRT and asked MO would I get CEL on a 430 engine, he didn't elaborate but said he can install it and no CEL would come on.. I don't know if he knew a way or just not aware of the CEL problem on the 430..

I really appreciate the nice pics ! I am not sure if you are aware that JPI supposively made a relay to reset the CEL light everytime you turn on your car for the 430 guys.. Whats your opinion on going to 3000 stall speed? From what I researched on here, most people do 2800 and I seen all the way to 3200.. So figured 3000 would be optimal?
Thanks !
Thanks !
On the stall, most go with 2800, very few 3000 and beyond so I would wait for more feedback before installing anything more than 2800. It may be awesome but the labor involved in taking a chance is a bit too much of a gamble for some.

Saw that, but I have real reservations about my ECU getting reset everytime I turn off the car. I would rather it keep my learned driving patterns stored instead of defaulting to the factory settings each time, especially considering my engine mods. It takes a good while for my car to get up to snuff when I reset my ECU.

The TQ and the 3.76 LSD you have work very well together in combination resulting in smoother and snappier shifts.
On my GS400, I first installed the Supra TT 3.76 LSD and the shifts from 2 - 3 were not very smooth and seemed to take longer when the car was cold.
However after I installed the TQ, the shifts evened out and smoother and no more jerky.
Great combo of mods!
