But if you want to upgrade your torque converter I will say this, it will compliment that engine very well and knowing what I know now, that would be my first mod on my list. It is the biggest upgrade that you can do for an automatic car and it really is the best performance upgrade you can do. Also after going to a 3600 stall I wouldn't go any lower. Even my son's C5 has had a 3000 stall in it and it didn't compare to a 3600. Not to say that there's anything wrong with a 3000, you just get a little more bang for your buck with 3600 but you have to like rpm. If you don't like a high revving engine then a 3000 might be all you want. If it was me I would get a circle d single disc 3600 stall, but I like the high revving stuff.

Thank you for the response.
The cam is considered to be small (Camshaft: Steel Hydraulic Roller Tappet
Cam Lift: .525” Intake / .525” exhaust
Cam Duration @ .050”: 219 deg. Intake / 228 deg. Exhaust)
Did you have to retune after the converter upgrade?
