Default Stock I6 Trail Blazer TC
What are the advantages of this TC over the stock one i have in my truck now?
I have been doing a little bit of reading and people seem to recomend it as a cheap starter TC.

Its a higher stall convertor than what you have stock, plus its fairly cheap and reliable.

Been working great behind my LQ9.

Get a bigger engine or start making more torque. Seriously though they do stall higher with more tq.
Mine stalls around 2800.
