Default Torque Converter

I was wondering if anyone had an issue with thier torque converter? It seems mine is going out. When the car is going through a gear there is a slight hesitation before the power kicks in. Everything freezes for a split second, boost, power everything. We really noticed it on the dyno lastnight.

The replacement I saw TCI 3000 stall, seemed like a decent price.

I only noticed this after we installed the Kooks LT headers, Kooks offroad xpipe, (removed the cats) changed the oil to royal purple and added motor mounts.

If you are going to go through the trouble of replacing the converter why would you buy a TCI?
It is simply an OEM that has had the impeller angles changed slightly. Cheap does not necessarily mean good, if you know what I mean.
You should look in to the other TC manufacturers out there
TCI makes a few good choices and Level 10 has a billett converter that eliminates the two-piece flex plate. I have the Level 10 converter.
There are a few people that have had problems with TCI converters thatI know of and have since replaced it.
