tony, like Rich said, i was driving his 09 GT with the 3600 converter. you can definitely feel there is a converter there from stop to about 30 mph, but its not loose like a 3600 in an fbody or vette. i believe its due to the massive gearing in the 6L80e transmission. if you like a tight feeling converter, btu still want that feeling of flash - i would probably go down to a 3200, but i wouldnt go any lower than that. personally, i would roll out with the 3600 b/c it performs so well.
Did you get to cruise with it locked at any time? Just wondering if it carries some of the lock-up quirks I've seen with the larger stalls.

Interesting. That's was my main concern on going with a stall that size was that "loose" feeling like the fbodies have. I wasn't sure if the manners would be better or worse with the 6L80.

Greg at FTI builds some super converters. I told him what I wanted in a dd converter and he built it better than what I asked for.

FTI 3600 has my G8 going pretty well down the track!
Couple questions now that I've had it a while...
Do you know what would cause the converter to chatter? It seems to work fine otherwise. Chatters in park, goes away in Reverse, chatter comes back in neutral, goes away in drive.
Any idea why the car leaves harder off idle then it does loading up the stall? Theres no tire spin to speak of on MIR's well prepped track. If I leave off idle up to about 1200RPM she goes 1.6x, stall it up to 2-3k RPM she goes 1.7x.
The 3600 now flashes about 4k RPM with my power. Are their any changes recommended either way to make the car faster?
Thanks
