FYI Revextreme worked on my car last year and they do run a nice shop.
NO! A TQ Converter change will not be necessary.

I am having H/C and full exhaust (Headers Hiflow Cats and X-Pipe) w/dyno tune and it will all be in and work with the stock converter.

We will be putting down a proven 430 HP at the rear wheels! and all on the Stock Converter! SWEET!

I'll keep everyone up on the progress soon! The H/C are almost there!

Thanks,Matt

A good converter is not really that expensive...it will definitely improve sotp performance for minimal cost since you are going to replace gears anyway.
