Shimming might not always do what you want.
Specific to mine at least, low rpm psi needed a lot of help and the hv pump does that without a corresponding increase on cold start and higher rpm. For example mine was running as low as 12psi at hot idle but 80psi on cold start up with std pump. I...
I didn't build it. Psi was just fine but the pump body itself starting leaking externally. I thought the same things dog did so I bought a std pump.
Intentional or not, the engine needs the hv at low rpm for pressure.
I found this out the hard way as well when I replaced an hv with std without thinking much of it.
My warm psi is much worse than you report. I put an hv back on it and we'll see how it is this weekend
I can't remember the exact modification I had to do but when installing the older 'Magnum' mounts into oem brackets I did have to alter things as well.
I also had to grind on a gen III hemi conversion mount set.
Full transparency - this is a spare unit I will be unlikely to use so I want to make it as valuable as I can for others - and if offering some of the later 833 parts with it does that, then Yahtzee.
So far no one is actually answering the question I asked :thumbsup:
On my 383/a500 setup I had to grind the starter case a bit but that's obviously a custom setup
I think I had to cut the big lug shorter on a different car once as well. They fit but sometimes you need a little nip or tuck.
Spin that sucker to 6000. No reason to keep it at 5000 or 5200. With the iron lung it'll still be pulling.
Kickdown adjustment from OEM to raise shift points and create deceleration downshift, never to create earlier shift as u now know.
