Once I get all my boost leak bugs worked out, I want to put an FLP level 4 in and hit the truck with a 75 or 100 shot.
Heres my question, while the trans is out, should I upgrade the converter?
2.2-2.3 60 foots in 4wd just arent cutting it! I've seen before and after ATI dynos, and they actually make less power at the wheels until 3500 rpm!
Should I put an SS3800 or maybe a 4000 stall in? I could also use more shift extension.(getting 4000 rpm now)
Whats a good converter for a centrifugal blower?
I'm still not crazy about losing the ability to tow though. How much do you think I could tow with a 4000 stall and good cooler?
Since I'm adding nitrous, should I just go the easy route and make it a reverse stage setup? 100-50, 100-75. Does anyone make a progressive nitrous setup, that you could setup like a reverse stage?
I'd like the everyday fun of a bigger converter better than just using nitrous at the track. This 3000 just doesn't seem like enough converter for my powerband. What do you guys think I should do?

I have no idea about the towing part, you might want to call Yank about that.

Converter guys, which yanks have good shift extension? I think 5000 rpm's would be good for my blower. Does anyone know where I can get an explanation of all yanks converters? I can't find a good comparison of all of them on their site.

I think your Best bet is to call up Yank or any of the conveter makers
and tell them what you are doing
they should be able to tell you if it's going to work and what to use
