I'm sure they have old converters laying around to send in for cores....you're right, you do need that relationship, or the ability to do some smooth-talking.

He can get the Trailblazer converter for basiclly the dealers cost because a friend works there. Richard-CRAZYCUTER4.8 has a TCI 2600(I think thats what it is) that used to be in his truck which is now sitting at his house that IM sure he will sell for CHEAP! If not you know you can get the TB one for cost!

richard I had the tci street fighter 3000, it flashed from a stop at about 2300 rpms, from a lite roll it would flash @ 3000 rpms. It felt just as tight as the factory under normal driving, it would even creep off at a redlight. If I sprayed it off the line at the track it would flash to about 3200 rpms.

It would pull like a bear though, I have had it sent out to be lossened up. I loved it, just needed it to be a bit looser.
