Default converters...

I've had the Circle D 3200 in my truck since Mid May and I guess I'm fairly satisfied with the overall performance... gas mileage dropped .3 or so average.

My only complaint is that I can't really see/feel any performance gains from it... now I know at the track is where it will really shine but on the street in my 2001 Z28 I could feel/tell the difference with the yank vs stock.

It brake stalls to 3000rpm with traction control off, what do you guys with stock converters get on the brakes with TC off on the stocker?

I feel like maybe it could be a little looser, what do you guys that have done a converter in a '14 think, what do you have, etc.

My guess is if you drove a stock one you'd be blown away how lazy it feels.

you're probably right, I've always had a hard time with my "butt dyne" I guess my calibration is off lol.

I'd love for it to be a tad looser (never thought I'd say that lol) but it's good for the truck the way I drive it.

I dont have a 2014, but I can tell you the stock stall in my 2000 will only brake stall to like, 1800 before it breaks loose. You can really feel how lazy it is when you give it enough gas to try and pass someone WITHOUT giving it enough to downshift, its TERRIBLY lazy!

my butt dyno sucks too. it seems like the louder the exhaust is, the faster it feels definately not the case, but my brain wont stop relaying the message to my butt that it's hauling *** when i'm in something loud.

that feeling of part throttle rolling into it, it does pull a little harder than stock.

the shift extension stock was really awesome, so when I went to the new converter I didn't notice a huge gain like I did with the yank in the camaro. I'm pretty satisfied overall.

Do you have a Flowmaster on it??? Is that why it's loud?
