Default Anybody running Circle D 300MM 4.8 Converter?

Considering getting their modified 4.8 converter with 2200-2400 stall. I tow a 14 foot tandem axle landscape trailer in the summer with 2 1000lb lawnmowers on it. I have read a lot about the modified TB converters, but not much about these.

Anybody using one?

How is the MPG?

I've emailed Chris. He said I'd lose about 1mpg and said it should work good for my app.

I just wanted to hear opinions from people that have this converter. I like to do a lot of research before I buy products.

Thanks

i ran a 278mm circle d on my 4.8.
I would run at least a 2600 278mm.
I used to tow with my truck frequently, just be sure to add a 40k cooler and your set.
your going to want more stall speed so jump up a lil nigher now.
I ran the 2600 and after a few months i wanted a 3000.

I don't race my truck. It's just a DD that I tow with often in the summer. Gas is expensive now. Looking for the best MPG possible. So I was looking at the lowest stall they offer because I will need a new TC for my trans rebuild.
