are you drag racing the car at all? if so then yes, a higher stalled tc is practically a must. same for the street if you plan on doing anything other than a baby cam. good mod

Best bang for the buck, like nitrous but with no bottle to refill. Guaranteed to make you smile. Improvements of half second is very normal in the 1/4 mile, but it depends on your setup, could be more in it. Be happy to help you spec out a converter. Just fill out the "Ask Chris" form on my site or give me a call....
