Default Which TQ is best for me?

I have a 98 c-5 with A4. I am wondering which TQ would be best for me? The car is stock with the exception of flowmaster exhaust.

Also, is it a must to change gears? I have 273's currently. A friend of mine, who has a supra, recommended a tranny cooler and lock up switch. Does anyone agree, if so what brand would you recommend.

Thanks,

Jason

2.73's are considered the snail gear, it is not imperative, however highly recommended that they be changed. For the higher stall converters, I would install a tranny cooler, a lock up switch, I feel is not required.

2.5cts! :lol:

:iagree:

Checkout the Yank converters web site there is a great deal of info there. http://www.converter.cc

The SS3600 or the Sy3500 with 3.42 or 3.73 gears would be great choices depending on your plans for your car.
