im going to go with dmelvin up here ^ they are only 395 new, and that stall size would be better with that cam than the 2600 in the TB converter. circle d ftw

Yeah, I really think that the Circle D would be more suited to your situation, and also, it's probably cheaper than trying to get a new one from the dealership.
