Trail blazer torq converter
Does anyone know how much the Trail blazer torq converter will tow? I have an 04' SS and my boat is around 4500lbs. Some of the lakes we fish are in the mountains so there is a lot of mountain driving at times too.
Thanks

Straight from John Fuddle to me when I asked him about a 3400 stall coupled with the Radix and towing my boat:
The only worry I have about going that high is that trans temps will get pretty high when
you are towing. To tow with a converter with a stall that high, you really will need to
make absolutely certain that cooling is good in the setup. The 3400 will perform
amazingly well, especially with the blower. To achieve that kind of stall speed, going
with the HP/Truck is your best bet. However, it does use a 245mm design to achieve stall,
so again, you need to pay attention to cooling. The clutch in the HP/Truck is more than
twice the size of stock, and can take serious beatings.
