New converter installed

Got my new torque converter installed today. What a difference, woohoo, got my low end torque back, she jumps off the line now.

Thanks Pete K.

Glad to hear positive feedback. The guys that build them for me are outstanding!
I appreciate the good word. Not for a pat on the back, but to be sure everyone is getting what they wish for

Is it the 2800 listed in your sig? That should be very nice.

I have a 3000 and love it. I think that folks should always try a converter upgrade before going nuts with gears if they at least have the 3.07s already.

I'm talking for cars used mainly for street of course. I'd hate to give up the good highway economy that I've been able to retain with a fairly radical LT1 engine.

I had 3:54's installed a while back, I would have done the torque converter first, but my car came with 2:59's. I probably would prefer something closer to the 3:07 to improve the highway driving, but I'm pretty happy with what I now have.
