    Can't wait to see some more gains reported at the track. I've always used Precision or Yank in the past, so Circle D is a new one to me. I'll be honest, I've never even heard of them before. But it sounds like they have a good name behind them from you guys.

    Thanks for the great review Steve. I am very happy you like it. Who's next???

    It is amazing how a properly matched torque converter can change a car. The best mod for the money in my opinion. What other mod can knock off .5 second in the 1/4 mile for under $1000 and their is no bottle to refill.

    Is this something that can be done in the garage on stands over a weekend or should I just take it to a garage. If a garage what is the average time it would take someone who knew what they were doing to put it in. I have no experience dropping a transmission but I'd be interested in saving the 300-400$ it would take get a shop to put it in. My father knows a fair bit about it so is it something someone who knows the basics can do with a little guidance?

    I am a bit worried about it doing damage over time to the transmission as well.

    Just seems like an awsome bang for the buck upgrade for someone who likes bottom end power. I don't care how fast a car will go I just wanna get to the end of the street faster!

    Do you have a stock number for which converter you purchased......this is probably my next move.....I lined up somebody today that would do the install. Do we have any special promo on price?

    Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall, torque is how far you take the wall with you.

    Circle D, maybe you can answer this one, but maybe Steve can, too. How much did this thing cost? And if I drove to Houston (I live in Killeen, about 3 1/2 hours) could you guys put one in for me?
