Keep in mind a stall isn't meant for the street and is a PITA to drive on the street. If this is a DD I'd go with more like a 2800. Just getting a better TQ Conv. will be huge, but driving constantly with a 3200+ stall will get old IMO. Not to mention the heat you're building with it. If you do go with it, make sure a trans cooler is part of the equation.

yea i know it affects the drivability on the street ive driven a lot of different trucks with converters including a couple of friends chevy's with 3600 up to 4400 converters but i think at the track this converter will help me out alot...ive also heard that the trans cooler on these 4th gens are alot better then previous ones but ill look into it more when i get to install the converter.

I actually need to try and find someone's dyno chart to really see what torque converter would be best for my build

Not the best picture but put in my triple gauge pod with the trinity mounted to see how it looked. Now just need two more gauges to fill in the empty spaces but it's getting there

Most manufacturers will spec one out for you. What brand are you going with?

SILVER_BULLET · Apr 17, 2013

dont know yet i like edge because alot of people seem to use them and have no issues but circle d is here in houston and i know alot of people local with them and they are awesome converters so its one of those two

Circle D makes a great convertor from what I've seen on the G8 forum. I'm ALL for buying local!!!

SILVER_BULLET · Apr 17, 2013

yea ive talked to the people from circle d in person several times at different events and theyre real nice people and take the time to explain everything about their converters they always have some cut open to show you the differences in their different models

Here's some pictures they took of my truck at a racing event this past weekend.. The truck spun too much so no good times but I like the pictures

the wheels are pro comp wheels dont remember the exact number of them but easy to find on their website and the tires are just street tires that a friend of mine gave me to use since i couldnt swing the money for drag radials at the moment. But if i had to chose for my truck with the 4.10 gears i would be running some 28" m&h drag radials
