After posting the thread, "What's next best performance mod", I've become interested in learning more about high stall torque converters. I've read articles on this site and other places but would like to hear more from those of you here that have more knowledge about them. Care to share?
It all sounds like an interesting upgrade but what are the trade offs, if any?
Can you simply buy the upgraded converter, take it to the local tranny shop for install and be done? Similar to a rear end gear swap?
Or are there other bits that need to be addressed too? If so, what and why?
I'm not a Ricky Racer but would enjoy a little more oomph off the line and a little better acceleration from my 5.3.
What do you think? Is this a good way to go?
