What about road course use? Wouldn't a stall overheat the trans? Also daily stop and go traffic?

I daily mine in heat, snow, rain, traffic, highway, etc, and it stays cool thanks to the extra tranny cooler.
Honestly, the L99 should have come factory with 3.91s and a 3200 converter!!!

But my 3200 stall, and 3.91, provide no benefit for daily driving. The benefit is at the drag strip, where I can launch the car at WOT, and hold it there. The only thing the converter does for daily driving is kill my city MPG. I would never drive it like this on the street though. It would never hook from a start, it would spin/slide all over the road. More importantly a danger to me and other drivers, and at WOT I'd quickly be exceeding speed limits by 30mph plus, good way to lose your license/go to jail. No thanks. I'll have my fun where it's legal to do it.

Maybe it doesn't help out in your daily driving, but it sounds like to me you don't really have anywhere you can actually drive your car and/or the speed limits are only 30 mph.
I also have no idea why you have no traction, unless I"m really on it my car hooks fairly well and I"m on somewhat worn Azurro AZ850s in 275, not the stickiest of tires.

I think you need to have GPI take a look at the tune. This is not a converter issue. Do you have a hand held tuner? See if Ryan can do an email tune and it could save you a drive. Better to tune it in person but it is worth a try to save a trip.

I am using a Yank 2800 and do not regret it at all. Everyone told me don't waste my time with a stall that small, but it took nearly 7 tenths off the quarter mile time, 60' went from 2.0's to 1.7's. Only other change was a CAI. It drives very well, wasn't looking to make a race car, just help the car from a stop, and it did that. Transmission temperature is the same as when the stock converter was in, assuming the factory gauge is accurate.
