Default Picking a AWD Truck Converter

My tranny is out and on its way to Rossler, and I should address the TC.

1. The truck has large torque #'s and is a low rev motor (low 6k rpms)

2. Towing (Snowmobiles 3 place trailer)

3. I'd like something that doesn't hit to hard. A hard hitting TC is just going to break parts with the AWD.

I've got a Super Yank 3600 that lanched my C5 to 1.4x's and one 1.39 60 foot times. Would this converter work well on the truck. Mike set it up knowing I'd be running NO2 on the C5

Get the Yank Truck Thruster 3000 it's a 11"convertor with a oversize lockup clutch.You will have full towing capibility and excellent road manners with that convertor.I've run one in my Tahoe for over a year with no problems.Oh I get 1.80 60'times on radials too.
