i am looking at a cam a friend of mine has for sale, its a tr220 112LSA. my question is what size TC should i run and how bad will this affect towing up to about 2500 lbs? or should i just forget towing all togethor and borrow my moms truck to tow with? i am looking for something definately streetable but i want to put down some good numbers at the track. How much power are yall seeing in 5.3's with 220 cam, headers, y pipe, exhaust, intake and tune? times? thanks for putting up with what im sure is another dumb question. i searched but couldnt really find much of an answer

 

You do a lot of towing? If you do, I'd probably recommend a 2600 stall converter.

If a better 1/4 mile time is more important, go with a Yank TT3000. With this converter you'll still have full towing capacity but you'll definitely feel the "looseness" of the converter when towing.

 

i tow a 4 wheeler maybe once a month, i tow a to help people move maybe once a year.....will it hurt the converter to tow?

 

Ive got a Yank TT3000 and I pull my wheeler all over the place.. Very tight converter..

 

If that's all you tow, I'd go with the TT3000 then. Go to http://www.converter.cc/converters/truck/truck_main.htm and it gives a quick rundown of what their recommended use/towing is for each converter, mild to wild.

 

great info!!! that link oughta be in a sticky...... thanks
