i have a question to add to this. how would the stock I6 converter handle towing? are they strong enough to hold up?

oh, i know what they are used on. just dont know if they can handle the v8 torque and the stress of towing 5k+ 20-50 miles a month. 5-15 miles each way. depending on where i launch.

good, gets the power band up faster and more higher stall with more torque. Id add a cooler for sure though.
But yea, should tow fine, its still a lockup converter.

yea and the stock TB stall is around 2100 rpm. The circle d that size can be stalled up to 3200 rpm. so just make your pick. I have a Yank that started as a 3000 rpm and restalled by Yank to a 3200.

While the tranny is down, you might as well put something in that will make a difference. Do you tow alot? Also my 3200 is on a stock cam. All these motors make their tq up high. Peak tq is like 4400 or something on these motors.

i dont know, 2600 on a OEM converter seems a bit high.

I used the TB stall from Circle D @ 3000 and it was great. Trans cooler is a MUST
