Newbie converter questions
Newbie converter questions Hello all,new the the LSx world and OD lock up style transmissions.I am in need of a little education.I am putting an LQ4 in a old Nova with a 4l65e,so no smog concerns.Considering a Texas Speed 224r @114LSA or a Torquer V2 with 112? -114 LSA.Planning on running a Fast LSXRT intake and a 102 tb with long tube headers ans a tune.Would like to keep it driver friendly and decent fuel mileage( currently has a 500hp 400sbc with a 8 inch converter) so anything will be an improvement.Looking at converters there are so many choices
With iether of these cams do I need to upgrade from a stock converter?I have not even found a spec on a stocker as of yet.3400 lb car with 3.89 gears currently.My 8 inch converter drives pretty well on the street under light load but I do not know what to expect from the newer style trans with a lock up converter,which leads me to another question.Are all converters listed for the 4l60-65e lock up style be default or are there none lock up converters available?Sorry for the lame questions,been poking around and more confused now than before
