Thanks man!! Naw man I don't have the 20's anymore, I am just toooo lazy to update my sig pic... I absolutely love the converter, one of the funniest mods I have done... BTW it is a Peformabuilt...

This is how my truck looks today, basically stock and kinda plain, but that is what i like... Thinking about building some long bars to help with wheel hop... If I brake stalled it to 1200-1500 and flashed it off the line it would wheel hop bad... Less brake stall and flashing it it would not wheel hop....

The truck looks good. I'm sure it's faster with the stock wheels, probably a very good choice. I'm hoping that if I step up on converter that I don't have even worse traction on the street than I currently have. Since my Detroit Locker I also get a bit of wheel hop on occasion.

Thanks man, yeah the 20's were like freakin boat anchors on my truck... It felt soooooooo much better with them gone.... Traction on the street is pretty pointless now, it just flames the tires in first, then it shifts in to second and bogs and then downshifts again....

Here is a vid with the new converter, taken yesterday on the street...
