Best bet is to call Circle-D and ask for Chris, he discounts the converters for pt.net members..$375 free shipping.

Well the tahoe's tires touched the ground today...was out for a quick spin, then back up to recheck everything, I'll have it out on monday for a nice break-in session,...builder is in love with the way it runs that Circle-D 2400 really woke it up...can't wait to re-tune and do some WOT runs.

Forgot to add that the forward sprag grenaded so its a good thing I parked it.

Got the tahoe back today...all I can say is WOW, the converter is just like stock until you get on it, which is limited right now since I ambreaking it in. The trans as a whole is just way tighter feeling with insanely quick shifts and pulls thru each shift nicely, can't wait to add my tune to it, going to do some logging then make the necessary changes, I think I may add alittle TM back into it.

Did you consider the upgraded billet servos? I haven't heard any cons about 5pinions or billet servos and I have the new stock stuff along side...not even close! By the way, how much for everthing? You install?

Servo's are billet, and we did add a 5 pinion planetary

Got everything done by a local shop for $1800 and got the converter from Chris at Circle-D.
