Re: help me choose a Tq converter..dyno graph inside My advise to you is to get the equivalent of a Vig 3200 with the #6 pump for your V-6. The Vig 3200 stalls 3800 behind an LS1 and should stall around 2800 behind your V-6. If you want a little more stall, then get the #7 pump Vig. It will stall around 3300 behind the V-6.
Good luck.
Good luck.

Re: help me choose a Tq converter..dyno graph inside Dump the 6 get a LS1 powered m-6 f-body & save your converter cash for engine mods! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: help me choose a Tq converter..dyno graph inside I would take Patrick G's advise, since he is probably THE T.C. King. Yeah, I agree it would be easier with an LS1, but a Procharged V6 might surprize alot of people!!!!!!!!! Obey your Thirst!!!!!!!!!!! <img border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" title="" src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" />

Just put a 3000 stall 2.5 STR Midwest in my 02 TA Last week. I love it. They've got the best prices, their products work, and great service.
One more thing. I used to have a 99 Grand Prix. I imagine your car had the same converter my GP had. Have you found any info on the stock stall stock STR to compare? I couldn't find any.
If you can't find any I would suggest getting a 3200,3400 3.0. With the 6 I would get high stall, high STR. Also I wouldn't worry about looseness. My 3000 is very tight.
Thanks
