Default Stock/TCI converter weights

Just in case anyone cares I weighed my Stock (1998 T/A) and TCI SSF 3500 converters.

Bathroom scale was all I had.They were both weighed at the same time with the same scale. Both converters were full of fluid.

Stock Converter :51lbs
TCI SSF 3500 :30lbs


Swapping converters helped get my car under 3300 lbs

I think people often forget about the weight factor of going to a physically smaller converter. It's not just a stall speed improvement you're getting when you get rid of that boat anchor.
