Keep in mind, I'm not building the tranny to be a 1/4 mile racer. Just beefing it up for more of the street abuses I put it thru.. However I did have the TC split apart to inspect the clutch ring and to gave it a good steam bath. However since the TC was opened. I'm thinking about having it made to a 2400. And some other things will done to it.
The transmission is done just waiting for the TC to come back from the shop.Should ready for the long stretch on &%#line May 22 ..

Well I have somewhat of an update . I went to Louis's shop today and installed the tranny. TC with its 2400 stall worked out great . The only side effect is there's a is strange bird like sound coming from the rear end ... I don't hear it when I keep the revs down below 2500, shifts feel shock sort of . But when I hit it from 70-80 while in OD, and it kicks down into 3rd. Once 3rd revs out and it goes back into OD it chirps like a little birdie @ around 100 
. Now that I think about it, it only does it 1st> 2nd to 3rd and 3rd to 4th but only when I'm WOT. 
.. What could that ever be ?? .. Other then that the tranny is super street able. And seems to like being in WOT position .
Thanks to Louis and Roger for lending me a hand to day ..

That birdy sound may be something rubbing(drive shaft...etc) if it wasnt there before the recent swap,if not it maybe coming from the trans.
Try jacking up the car,secure it on stands,run it through the gears and listen for that noise.
btw: why you went with a 2400 stall? just wondering since most people run 2800-3500 stall on street driven sc/supras.

. But yet I keep trying to be. The tire chirping is music to my ears. The transmission is working really well. When in full throttle the shifts are firm and extremely responsive. I had some concerns as to the streetability of the trans, but it all went the driver window once I mashed the gas. The trans act almost stock like in low RPM range. As far as the 2400 stall speed. I don't want to put a lot of stress on the 2nd gear sprag. I like it.
Edit: Thank you, for your concern and quick response.
