So in essence the higher the STR the better the driveability?
I do love my TT3000... i DD my truck and i tow with it... i can cruise around town at about 1500rpms... and tow the trailer at about 1800rpms...
do it right and go with the 3000.........
Ive been through about 7 converters... believe me for a DD the 3000 is almost perfect blend of DD and race...

lol man, 7 convertors....didn't realize you went thru that damn many. Thanks for the info, that is pretty much what I'm after a good balance of both. Slightly more driveability than race tho....

A higher STR will have a tighter feel to it, but it achieves a 1:1 ratio quicker. A lower str will "pull" more over a longer rpm range. A higher STR 2.5+ is better with slicks and closer to 2.0 is for most street vehicles (hard launching).

With that said a 2.1 STR for the TT2600 is really considered a tight converter because the overall size of the converter is larger.

There is a graph on Yanks site that explains STR and it effective rpm ranges pretty good.

Thanks for the STR explanation. Did some more research today and checked out Yank's site as well. How much of a difference is it going from a 2.1 to the 2.21 STR? and w/ a tt3000 how will 3rd gear feel? Don't want it to feel like a complete dog at 60+mph

Not to jack your thread but for those who have run both the tt2600 & tt3000 was there any fuel mileage difference? Sorry, had to ask.....

I run a sstb3200 which is actually meant for a trailblazer. The great thing about it is that it's extremely tight and since I daily drive my truck I can still shift at 2k rpms at part throttle. Now if I go about 75% throttle it will flash to about 2400 rpms and WOT flashing from a dig it goes right up to about 3100 rpms.

Very happy with my yank.

I have the TB stall in mine right now, and it just dint feel like enough with my cam, I had another truck with a tb stall also but it was a 212/218. I just got a yank tt3000 for this truck and waiting for time to put it in, cant wait!!!!! IMO, go with at least a 3k, our trucks are really sluggish out of the hole in case anyone hasnt noticed.
