Default Circle D Pro Series Stage III 258mm 1A on the way.

What should I do before throwing it in?

I am definitely gonna put a trucool 40k in there beforehand.

fill it up few hours before install.

Anything else?

Tru-Cool 40K, perfect. Add about a 1 quart to the converter or so it does not start dry. And make sure to check converter clearance, that is very important. Any questions let us know.

BTW, thanks again!!

Chris

No thank you. It took over a year but I knew I was gonna get one from you sooner or later. It will be here today according to the UPS tracking. I did the Tru cool-that was a major pita because of the Vortech cooler that is on the passenger side of the trans cooler and the reservoir under the radiator area blocking where i needed to route the trans lines. I had to manipulate the sh*& out of the trans lines and a bunch of different routing schemes to get them to line up correctly with the Trucool. I talked to some of the other big verter companies people like to use on here but I was not impressed with their arrogance or their lack of willingness to school me on converters before I forked out over a grand plus some of their warranties flat out suck. I hope that Flexplate comes in today too (thanks for the favor btw) with the package so I can put the verter in today and see what a real stall feels like. I'm sure I will be very pleased.

Thanks Chris,
Chris
