The converter you are talking about is my friends. It has been a great converter for him. I am building his car for him and I think we at a point now where the 4l60e just will not be reliable. His car up to this point has been a bolt on car and has gone 12.70s on stock intake and exhaust manifolds. I belive his car was over 3800 pound with him in it also.

That's a great street converter. Buy it. You can send it back to Yank and have it freshened if it needs it for a couple hundred bucks.

Trans cooler and a trans temp gauge is never a bad idea. I actualy just put the trans cooler out of that car and the one out of my car on ebay today. You can look up items by seller and you will find them.

trans cooler and fluid are all you need. You might decide to change the tranny filter if that hasn't been done in a while.
