Getting my circle D 3200 converter, transgo HD2 shift kit, corvette servo, installed on my 08 CCSB as we speak. At soon as it's done, I will be getting the blackbear in person tune. Any does n donts with the new parts? I will be driving about 40 miles to my house this evening after it is done. Thanks guys!

I've heard you should give the converter about 500 miles to brake in before any WOT runs. Also might want to upgrade the trans cooler if thats not on your parts list.

A torque converter is a fluid coupling, there are no wearable parts. No need to break it in because there is nothing to break in. Literally...lol

I assumed it was the clutches and bearings seating but I'm just repeating what I was told but have no factual evidence.

Is that your truck in the vid mongoose? Hows it feel?
