Yank makes the PYE3400 and the PYE3600 that are designed to be used with engines using a power adder like a S/C. You can use the stock converter but you will get better performance with a high stall T/C designed for use with a power adder. :cheers:

Ok, to a poor boy like myself, that sound like alot of power adders for just show

,,,, not planning to race the car ,, but it will have enough power w/o needing the higher stall, help me quick,,, make me spend more money,,,darn you
What are your plans if it's not to totally domanate anything else on the road.
and by the way even if it's on the street it's still a race. Oh ya, Darn you for making my plans for 3.42 gears feel more like settaling. Also the answer to your question, Get the darn converter and do it all the way or just ship it all to me.

:) :D
