I know, but these were free since I already had them! Its not a max effort 1/4 mile car anyway. Mostly a daily driver that I wanted to be a little quicker thats why i put in the mild stall converter too. I may look for some used skinnies to run when I go to the track though. The full size front tires are def heavy. I know in the fall it's got a 12.5x in it.

Sounds good! Great results, especially considering the price. Any updates on it, like how your mileage has been?

What gears are you running, stock 3.23's?

Is this the re-stalled Trailblazer converter I read about in a different post? I'm really liking what I've been reading about it, I think I'm going to go this route eventually.

hey kitchen whats up man. its darren. im still in the sand box right now. last time i saw you was at the RFP exactly a year ago. Anyway, just curious, u have a ceta bird now? What happened too the black beast you had? As i recall, the black one was a manual, how do you like the auto vs. the 6 speed? I ran a 12.74 when i did my 3.90s, and im getting a yank 3600 to put in when i get home along with a line-lock too smoke those MT DRs when i go. Anyway, hit me back and congrats on the time. Say a prayer for me at the ride and hope to see you in 09, be home before new years!

Correct, this is the 11" 278MM TB I6 converter. I rebuild them to Circle D Specs. They are stronger and higher stall. A great converter for the DD.

Thanks for the info, it sounds like the converter for me. I've read about it in a few posts now and it seems like a great piece.

Would you recommened it with 2.73's, or would I also need a gear swap?

my car has almost 155k on it.. would it be wise to replace the flexplate as well while I have the transmission out?? or should I leave it alone?

I do know I need to have the rear main seal replaced..

I think the 99 and 2000 flexplates are the weaker ones, probably a good idea to upgrade. Are you doing a rebuild on the trans as well?

not if I can help it.. it runs like a top right now.. I'll probably put in a corvette servo,a .490 boost valve and Transgo shift kit.. but unless something comes up thats all I plan on doing.
