Which converter?

[d0n_3d]

My stock tranny went out and now I am looking for someone to rebuild the tranny for me. I want it rebuilt to handle mid to low 11's easily...here's my dilema

right now my motor is bone stock...i have a te-44 turbo/50's combo...i am looking to run mid 11's SAFELY on this new trans...my question is do i stick with the stock D5 converter or upgrade to like a 2800 stall? i haven't had any spooling problems with this turbo on my stock converter...maybe one day i may go with a bigger turbo and do some motor upgrades but for now it's the 44 turbo...

i would at least go to a 2800 stall converter. thats what im running and it seems to work pretty good. you might even want to go with a higher stall, im sure more people will chime in on this one.

I'd go with the stall for the next turbo you will be buying.

No reason you can't go to 3000 or 3200 should you be thinking of a 60 series turbo soon.

I use a 3000 Vigilante with my stock turbo in the GN, works fine for now.

Putting the PTE51 turbo on it next week I hope.

Drove it 9 months with the stocker, about 5K miles.

No issues.

Guy i would recomend to rebuild your tranny is Vince Janis he is well known for these 2004R trannys. He is located in Ohio, here is his #(330)-753-6609.

Good Luck!!!
