I would steer clear of a new tci, much less a used one for 400. Have fun not locking up when it should and cutting sub par 60'.

For 50 more bucks you can buy a brand new ptc, and that my friend is a bad *** converter.

Difference under normal driving for a 3200 vs a 3600 is so small you will never notice it. Under wot driving, the difference will be major.

Our 278mm is a very nice option for now, very affordable and still utilizes a 12" lock up clutch. I can also help you with some other options if you want to talk about it. You can shoot me an email - link in sig.......

I don't even go to their site, i hate the way its set up.

I enjoy dealing with kenny the most. Just call and tell them that you are looking for the 450$ 4l60e converter for your year car with a cooler. They are very pleasant to deal with.

Our sponsors pay good money to be able to sell their products.
Thanks.

Not only that, but if our sponsors were not providing absolutely amazing products and customer service, the members here would let it be known. IMO that's just another reason to support the sponsors we have serving us so well.

Our sponsors here on LS1Tech pretty much built the cars we race on a very regular basis and I owe a huge thanks to them. If you are not using the sponsors we have here.....well, I just hope you are lined up next to us in the money rounds..I'm just say'n

See ya at the stripe

At the same time, keep in mind, just because its not a spinsor doesn't mean it isn't a top shelf product.

I always turn to sponsors first, sometimes I have or want to search farther, rare but it does happen.

Hell yea but keep in mind if you dont go with a sponsor or if you talk bad about one then be scared cause they will personally come to your house to rip that PTC converter off the car. Then the mods will kick your *** of ls1tech. Its like the mafia...dude.

But seriously our sponsors are great. I love my Yank ss3600

What he said.... Do not go cheap on a converter! I cannot stress this enough! Your messing with your drive train here, think of it like this, if you have to have a new heart, would you go with the bargin ticker, or the top of the line pump? Not to mention the bargin converters are not as efficent, thus the disappointment at the track....

Trans cooler is a MUST, unless you want to rebuild your trans.

Circle d can hook you up with one I'm sure or autozone.

This cooler works real well and a lot of the LS1 guys run it because it fits fairly compact and fits good.

It's the B&M 24,000 GVW #59-70264
