Questions for anyone who installed a higher speed torque converter:

What's normal drivability like?

What's best street stall speed with 3.73's but that will also help with racing?

What's involved in installation? And/or cost of installation?

Is anything else, besides the converter, needed to do the swap?

What kind of performance difference is there?!

Thanks!
Drivability - The trans will feel like its slipping until you reach its stall speed.

Stall speed - Its based more on your motor rather than your gear, for the street ideal is in the 2800-3500 stall speed.

Installation - Nothing special just the same as a regular torque convertor (always fill the convertor before hookin it up to the flexplate)

Performance - Its a great improvement over the stock one, it allows the trans to "slip" a little bit until it gets to a higher torque range, therefore you can get better launches and your car wont bog down in the low RPM's.
