Need converter advice


Recommended Posts

Posted

A 3200 stall on a daily driver will make you hate life. If you want to be able to spin the tires, there are a lot of better options than stalling the living crap out of the truck.

I need better of the line this suburban is soooo slow 0-30

Gear it, my Yukon XL with 5.3 and 205,000 miles will still spin the tires if I stand on it from a stop. Mine has 3.73:1 gears. You put a 3200 stall in it you are not going to accomplish what you are trying to do. You will hinder towing for sure

I dont tow at all i drive 80% highway and i have 3.73's and blackbear, k&n and cannot spin them with 126,000 miles lol. I was told that under light throttle it would drive almost the same after proper tuning but when i step on it you will notice a lot more. Im fine losing 1-2 mpg city

Just a comment/question but why do you need to spin tires, especially in a Suburban? If you're spinning tires, you just burn tread.

I like the idea of having to power to do it but more importantly its a total dog 0-30 and thats where i wanted the most gain so i thought it would be a good idea since i needed a new converter. All the reviews sorta talked me into it

Guys the trans shop just called me and said to re think on the 3200. They told me way to much heat which i know (plan on trucool) and he said the vehicle would stall out over 3200? Would i get the same response or power gain off the line with a 2800?? I need to call him back in an hour

Buy a supercharger

So what if I already have a supercharger installed? I'm planning on a performance upgrade for my tranny in the spring and I'm at a loss for which way to go on my converter choice. My truck is a 2008 1500 4x4 LTZ with a Roush supercharged 5.3 with longtubes and GMPP(borla sport) cat back and Blackbear tuned with 3.73 gears and 33" tires. Any help would be greatly appreciated if anyone would care to, Thanks.

I canceled my order. I will be doing something in the 2600-3000 range and blackbear finally got back to me!

Did they tell you to go lower? For daily driven on stock cam look in the 2600-2800 range.

Yes thats exactly what they said. I hope its enough stall, i like the idea of 2600-2800 over 3200
