Ive got it and i love it.. It took me about 2 minutes to get used to it.. Its not that much different to me driving on the street than it was stock exept my truck pulls a heck of a lot harder.. My gas mileage has suffered because im constantly in the gas.. but this tank ive been taking it easy and it looks like im going to get around 17mpg.. which was about what i was getting before.. The converter was by far the best mod ive ever done..

Have had my converter installed for about 3 weeks now, and I love it. It was wierd at first, never had a stall converter before, so it took some getting use to the rpm's coming up under light throttle. This converter has really helped my cam come alive, it throws you back in the seat now. Had a problem with lock up shudder, but put an addative in the trans that took care of that instantly. Not sure how much you would be able to tow with this converter, have no intention of towing with mine.
Will be able to get my truck to the track on April 12th, so will have some numbers, but for now traction is an issue. With this converter, lighting up the tires is no problem, hell at 30mph when you mash the throttle, it will break the tires loose when it down shifts. My truck has a shift kit as well, and is a joy to drive, so gas milage suffers because I can't keep my foot out of it either.
Will tell you that I had some customer service issues with the first converter that I got, it would not go all the way into the transmission. TCI was no help in this problem, but Summit sent me a 2nd one next day air and it worked great.
This converter is a good buy and should give you alot of bang for the buck.
