    btw my ute is cammed etc,at this point im thinking a yank ss3200 or a circle d 3000

    I run a Circle D 3000 stall, 258mm, triple disk in my G8. Just daily driving it around it is fairly mild. You can tell the engine is revving a little higher than with the stock converter when just lightly taking off from a stop but it is nothing really appreciable. I daily drive my G8 and don't have any issues with it.

    I have a circle D 2800 single disk. I drive the car the same way I always did, same amount of throttle when pulling away from a stop, etc. The biggest thing I notice are of course when you floor it how fast RPMS climb, and when driving around it seems to shift at the same RPM all the time, almost like driving a CVT. I like it though, I have been shying away from a stall since my 04 GTO but finally bit the bullet and decided to get one for the G8 for a good sized cam and I have no regrets.

    I have the Circle D 2800 stall 258 mm single disc. It dropped my car almost 7 tenths in the quarter, but I drive it everyday, and noticed a very little difference at part throttle. This is the third car i've had a stall in. You will simply love it.

    This is on the higher end of gains, but possible. We have done a full second in some situations....But that was on a radical cam with stock converter.

    Ditto on this post...I only look at 60ft time on a TQ install (3200 for me) and I only gained 2 tenths...7 tenths seems high to me for a 1/4...but cool for you..deputycrawford.
