Torque converter help!!

99Silver6.0 · November 17, 2003

Ok all you converter experts. I am getting ready to throw in a Comp 212/218 .522/.529 114 cam. I know my truck stalls at 1600 stock. My question is will my truck really suck down low after I put the cam in? I have a friend that has a 215/215 .550/.550 114 and it has less low end than the cam I am gonna put in. Will I really have the need for a new converter? Most of the people I asked are tellin me to get a 4000 or something crazy. I have to tow, I dont wanna loose my every day driveability. What do yall think?

Yank 2600 Truck Thruster! Still keeps stock towing capacity!

YANK TRUCK THRUSTER 3000 (4.8, 5.3L only) (278 mm, 3000 stall, 2.21 STR, 98.6% efficiency!) This converter is a modified Truck Thruster 2600. Being so, it shares the stock-like appearance, super-high efficiency, and impressive towing capacity of its lower stall brother. This is the most aggressive converter for the Truck and SUV enthusiast who still wants to maintain their full factory towing capacity. You should expect your 0-60 and 1/4 mile times to drop .5 seconds!

That is taken directly from Tbyrnes site.... I would think you could do a TT3000 without loosing you towing power..

4000 is too high. Run 2400-3000 max.

i had my converter built to a 2500 stall when they did my tranny.that was one of the best mods i have done yet.it really suprises people to see an ext cab launch.
