the 430 should also use the 2800 stall, no difference.

and it's been mentioned a lot of times, with 430 very likely you get cel. i think i have heard one member says he doesn't have cel on his 430 with tc

I am the one member. No problems with the TC on my 430, which was installed by SRT.

rear end looks really easy to break loose.....man you guys are good at weighing down the MOD side of the scale vs the dont mod. That video just makes it even worse.












..............Alright you convinced me.

haha well i am afraid i don't even have to say anything to convince you

anyway, you are right that once you get the tc and lsd you HAVE to relearn driving. you can't just floor the car as hard on turns or such, otherwise you might spin out. but once you get used to it, it's fine!
