truck has stock 3.73 and g80 would it benefit me to upgrade to 4.10 or 4.56 that much for the strip or should i just put the money into getting a better stall im hearing from local friends to just leave the 3.73's in since i got the bottle on it but they all run mustangs and not trucks looking for yalls input

Hands down a converter is the most fun and noticeable mod uou can do to your truck. Besides a turbo or supercharger.

The CircleD 278mm 3000-3200 is a excellent converter. I had one for a lomg time. It daily drove awesome and actually performed rather well at the track. A regular TB converter is a waste of money in my opinion. Yep they are cheap but they in no way compare to a real converter or the circled 278mm.

corey nice to see you around man..

ive heard tb converters decent. not sure where u located but there is a place in kennedale tx that makes a good 2600 converter for 250 bucks that is really noticable been running it in a buddys truck few months. good piece for the price. deffinately would help with ur setup
but like corey said its all about how much u wanna spend if you do decide to go big i would go circle d hands down
