Thanks man! It is very fun to drive, hate the feeling of a stock vehicle. They just feel like dogs.

Thanks for the videos Jay. I'm sure this is going to sound dumb but how did the converter effect your mpg? My car in my sig kills me on gas and since my truck is my dd I don't want to take too much away from its gas mileage since I'm in collage.

Honestly I don't know since I keep my foot into it so much lol rolling burnouts, WOT runs, drifting corners, etc...

I do know that it has gone up since my 9.5" 2600 but really don't monitor it much. Smiles per gallon not miles per gallon haha

when I went from my stock converter to my 278 3200 I know I was getting less km to a tank but that could have been cause it was more fun to drive. lol
from the 3200 to the 245mm 3600 it was defanitly worse but again the truck was a lot more fun to drive
I have never once checked my MPG cause I know it wouldn't be great and honestly I didn't build it for good mileage
