do you have any clips of your car at idle. how does it sound?

 

I got a vid here of the idle. It is a lot less lope then the same cam in the 5.3.

Idle

 

the trailblazer its worth every penny in my opnion. had the tb intalled past weekend and it does stall around 2500-2600 range on my ss.

 

Thanks for chiming in mwalls.

When you say it stalls at 2500-2600, is that easing into it - low throttle from a stop? Or is that a flash stall when you step on the gas from a stop? If it's a flash stall, at what RPM does it start moving when you're just easing into it?

 

Also wondering how long this TC will hold up to 400-500 flywheel HP....and what would happen when it lets go...

 

It should be okay like that for a while. I don't see a converter taking a **** that quick. If it brakes...you'd probably break a mounting lug, eat the clutch, etc.

 

so how much are the TQ convertors costing. I am guessing if people are doing it, it has to be a damn bit cheaper then the yank.

 

I like that idle clip... Sounds good. No real noticeable lope, but you can tell it's not stock. I'm going to PM you on that...

 

At GMPartsDirect.com it is $280.50 + $100 core + $56.10 S/H =$436.60

 

That's a good price.

FWIW, I got my new, pre-owned but unused, Yank 2600 for $500 shipped to my greasy hands.
