It won't drive exactly like stock. But it is very very close, you will get used to it and think it is stock....Originally Posted by SS DAVE

Most converter are barely noticible during daily driving.
I'm sorry, you're right. I had the headers and the converter installed at the same time. I can tell you that I have time slips that show pre converter, a 2.05 60 ft time, and post converter, consistent 1.77 60 ft times. Almost 3 tenths in just the first 60 ft is a huge difference. All runs were done on the original rims and tires.

Has anyone checked their trans temperatures before and after a stall converter. I have been told that the 6AT in these cars run hot when stock, a converter would only make this worse shouldn't it???
What is a good external cooler to use on these?? I want to use AN hose ends and black hose, just for looks. I don't like those cheap bulk rubber hoses and clamps most coolers come with.

I'm curious how much of a mpg loss there is running a 28-3000 stall.
Here is one with my old cam that made subpar power/torque. The converter feels much tighter with the new cam.

Is there a mpg loss? I don't think I can handle many more fuel economy hits and still use this as a daily driver ;-(
With a Yank Converter how do they go along with a pwm lockup? One mechanic told me they were not compatible. But Shane states all is well. With the new hp tuners software is all well with a yank on lock up?
