Default Hello From Louisiana

Hey from Louisiana, I am Paul Coupel, i have 2002 WS6 T/A, with Black leather interior, the Major mods i have done to the car are Pacesetter Long Tubes, Texas Speed Y-Pipe, and Custom Cat Back that i made at my Boss' Muffler Shop, I just recently installed a TR230 cam, PAC Racing Single Beehive Springs, and Texas Speed Pushrods, I was wondering if any of my Fellow F-Body Fanatics could point me in the direction of Torque Converter that would be of use to my car, i forgot to mention my car has some type of built transmission in it, i know it is some type of hopped up 4160e, with a 2500 converter, and help would be appreciated!!!

Born and raised in LA myself. Currently stationed at fort polk in the great town of leesville lol. I think this is most secluded place in the united states!

Circle-d or yank make awesome converters. Contact one of them and they will take care of you. Check out the sponsors on this site. You can find anything you need on here for your car.

Welcome

Welcome to your new addiction Paul. You should check out the Southern Section at the bottom of the main page. There are usually a few gatherings posted in there, but you may have to go to Baton Rouge or Lafayette to join in the fun. To bad No Problem is closed all month we'll have to wait till August to see what the new cam will do.
