Trailblazer converter 60ft
The jokers on ls1tech were of no use, so hopefully somebody over here can help me out. As the title states I haven't found a single person list what kind of 60ft they have gotten on a TB converter. So if you have info to share please do and also include your truck setup(ie. Rcsb,ecsb,etc) and motor setup. Thank yall

That's because the jokers over at ls1 tech started talking about the shift timing (which you asked first) and then you mentioned you were going to install a used torque converter and were getting someone to do it for $100...which is so cheap it sounds shady
The tb converter sucks. It's like the old "vega" converter for th350 stuff...its just a smaller diameter converter intended for a car with way less power. It'll stall to like 2800 and be fairly inefficient.
If you're tossing it in a foxbody or something light like that...it'll be fun on the street for a while. But it's not going to perform like a performance converter will
Also...the lockup clutch is significantly smaller than other stock converters...so don't lock it up unless you're just lightly cruising.

It's gonna 60 foot like ****.
Stock trucks 60 foot like ****...they're slow
This converter won't be any huge night and day gain
And if your truck makes enough power to not 60 foot like ****...then if you use this converter...it will still 60 foot like ****. because it's the wrong converter.
Either way...it's cheap and you can get it done...but don't lock it up under any load...or else you'll wipe out the converter clutch then you can watch the rest of the trans take a **** right after.
It's fine in something light (3200 lbs or less light) but in a truck its garbage. The guys that will say it's not are the guys that have installed it and don't want to tell themselves they did a **** mod
