Name your torque Converter
And how long you have had it. Also, I would like to know if you had any issues with your TC. I am going with a 2800 Yank to go with my H/C on the 9th at 21st Century Muscle Cars.

Haven't gotten around to naming my TC yet, but current contenders are "Rueben", "Monty" and "Bridgette".
Nice avatar, by the way. "Freddy's Dead" was a cool song.

I also have the Vigilante 2800, the heavy duty output shaft, and Kooks LT headers. My local tuner told me that the Vigilante 2800 was about the equivalent of the Yank 3200. Either way, I am very pleased with my current set-up.

I had the 3200 before this but it just was not big enough. When I launch now, it's like being shot out of a cannon.

I have noticed that at times, when cruising on the highway in lower rpms, the car does hunt a little bit, but nothing major.
