    Ray did you turn in your stock converter as a core? I have a 200k mile 6l90 converter out of a truck I want to use as a core but dont know if they will question it. best price I can find it about $300 to my door after a $100 core return.

    I used travis' stock converter as a core. So far, no one at GM has figured it out or bothered to say anything.
    Rest in Peace Charlie!

    I was always told that getting a stall with a blower is just over kill because of all the torque already at hand. What is so good about having the ZL1 converter in a blown car?

    I can't really answer your question, but keep in mind the ZL1 is a blown car from the factory so it was designed for that application.

    The advantage is the double lock up plates rather than a single. Will withstand more power.
