Pros and Cons of converter
#12
Okay, two more questions.
I was doing some more reading on PB, what is the Stall TQ ratio of the stock unit (approx) so I can base my decision on something.
This is something that I am wondering about based on my experience in using an aluminum flywheel in my Camaro. I noticed that when I let off the gas in the Camaro after installing the alum flywheel, the car decellerated faster when I let off the gas than it did with the heavy steel stocker. Will the same thing happen with the smaller converter, get up in rpm faster but loose rpm when you let off the gas due to the lack of rotating mass? Because that was not good for gas mileage in the camaro, I can only imagine it would be worse in a heavy vehicle.

Okay, I am trying to figure out the difference between the heavy hauler and the level 2 from performabuilt. I have been emailing back and forth with Frank, and for some reason he his being very short worded with his responses to my question. From what I can gather from reading the website, it seems that the only difference is the level 2 uses a Fairbanks Super Servo and the heavy hauler uses a corvette servo. Am I missing something else that is major?

PM Fireman31 on here. He has a close set-up to you and he has a performabuilt trans and an aftermarket 3k stall IIRC. Have him take you for a ride in it. I thought it was a great set-up IMO.
