Works great except when braking I am fighting the rpms. It tries to lurch forward. I am getting in the habit of shifting to neutral when stopping. Not right.
I know I need a new TC but what size and stall speed? This is my daily driver. 3.73's on 32's. I hear the trailblazer 4.2 TC is a good choice at 2600-2800 vs my stock one of 1400-1600

I had that in my TA, it worked pretty well. I would, and this is just me, put a trans cooler on to help with heat. I would find a newer one if possible. Rock Autp has a AC Delso one.

That should not "need" a converter, it should not push through the brakes. That being said it can dang sure benefit from one. I run this one in my yukon and a stock cam and love it.
