Default Trailblazer Converter Question

I see several people runnig these. Do they limit your towing ability? Truck is a rcsb, 3.42 rear, 5.3, no cats, magnaflow, K&N CAI, stock heads, 212/218 .558/.563 on a 114 +4. Probably going to use a TSP mail order tune.
NOT a race truck but I do want to help it out when the cam goes in. Also dont want to lose gas milage. Occasionally this will be used to tow a car but not more than a few times a year. I have been known to haul in OD but only if running around 80-85mph. What do you guys think of the TB converter?
thanks

it may be overkill but I'd look for something with a billet front cover.

the ticket would be to get the yank tt2600. they aren't that expensive. it will give you some grunt down on the low end with that cam and will also retain stock towing capacity.
