The converter we use was a special pump blade that is not used in the USA it was built as a high stall from GM, and we go a little more, also the turbine hub spline is heat treated for the extra abuse as is the pump drive hub.
yes, the factory converter for the 4.8, 5.3,6.0 and 8.1 are brazed but the trailblazer 4.2 converter is not.
You can go to about 2300 to 2400 in the 5.3 but it will not have the high eff. that our 2400 does the diff. is about 3 % less than the stock unit about
94% where our unit will run 96-97% not a big deal but but enough to move you RPM to MPH a little at the top of 2th and 3th gear

The stock carbon weave was GM designed to slip all the time)
with our new lining the clutch feel and holding is greatly improved!
this upgrade includes :
1, increase the stall in converter to 3100 RPM
2, change the clutch
3, install Kevlar lining
4, rebuild -- install new parts as needed
5, balance & pressure test
6, Epoxy paint
all this for just $250.00 plus shipping
the turn around time is very short!!
call us to set up your appointment today
Thank's for looking






Does this include a special pump blade and heat treated turbine splines and pump drive hub?
