Default Help picking a converter

I need a converter to go with my Lvl 5 in my sts 6.0 truck. The problem is I bought a Z28 and the verter needs to be able to tow the camaro. The problem is I can't build any boost at the line

Also, what parts swap over from cars to trucks as far as trans missions goes. I got alot of parts floatin around the garage.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Yank SS3200 IMO... tight converter, will still probably let you get into boost, and plenty strong to tow with... make sure you run a hefty cooler with it.

I bet it wasn't on a trailer, just rolling behind it... Ben doesn't have a hitch.

And BTW, stick with the TT series for towing

ok that makes better sense now.

rodney. like i told you put the level 5 and vig in the maro.
if you still want a converter for the truck go with the tt3000. that's what i'm going to go with when i start haulin the chevelle.
