I have a 13 1500 Sport and I’m wanting more low end torque for some street fun as well as to help when I’m towing. I was thinking of replacing my torque converter. The engine and 6 speed trans are stock internally, I have a dyno tune for 91+ octane gas, 180 thermostat, mechanical fan delete, Vararam intake, JBA 1 7/8” long tube headers, 3” JBA catless y pipe, 3” single in and dual 2 1/4” outlet Magnaflow muffler going to stock muffler back exhaust. I also have a 4” lift with 35x12.5r17 tires. What torque converter would you recommend for me?

Thanks. I’ll reach out to him if he doesn’t reply
You can also look him up on YouTube I know he has a video of the converter I'll see if I can find it. His is pretty aggressive though since he has the cam I think it's a 3k if I remember right but not sure.

Thanks! I don’t know if I’ll do a cam based on the cost unless I end up needing to do it thanks to a lifter issue. I’m not looking to win any drag races unless it’s more for fun. I just want some more low end torque really for towing my 3000 lb boat and trailer. It’s my daily driver.

Edge 2800. Did they put the 2200 or 2600 in the 2013 six-speeds? Either way they have plastic stators and an edge is a big upgrade. They're good to near 600 hp if you wanted to throw some more at it...

I don’t know what the stock lockup is to be honest. I’ve heard Edge is a good brand name.
