I just got my stage 2 up and running again the night before last. Tonite Im going to go fine tune it.
Cooler. Hmm something big & high quality. If you have a few extra bucks to spend, get one with AN fittings and buy the appropriate fittings to connect it all.. it really is worth it. Bowtie overdrives will almost demand that you connect the aux. cooler in line with the radiator's built in cooler.. Dont need a thermostat or a fan if its going in front of the radiator.
tranny fluid: I like chevron or valvoline dexron III.. I wouldnt bother with synthetic, even bowtie overdrives will tell you dont bother with it. In their words: buy whatever is cheap, and change it often. Good advice, IMO.
flexplate: get a 168 tooth SFI APPROVED one. trust me on this one!
as for the converter, I would probably go with a 2200 stall.. I got the 2400 stall, and I like it but any higher would be too much. If I had to do it again I would probably go with 2200-2400 stall. If the 700 didnt use a lockup converter I would definately not like the 2400 stall.. Again, I recommend 2200
as for the speedo drive gears, I would talk to the techs at bowtie overdrives. They should be able to tell you exactly what you need and they probably have the parts in stock and will probably install them for free before you get your tranny.
good luck, you will love the b.t.o. 700r4
