Getting close to ordering a new converter and not to sure on the size. I am thinking about a 2800. Too much? Too little? Tell me what you think.

Here is a quick vid of the truck if it helps any.

I tried to feather the throttle a bit but it didnt help too much.

I'd say go sst3200 from yank if you don't tow anything, if you do tow, then get a circle d tripple disk or a 258mm 3000 converter

never mind, i see you have a whipple, maybe you should give dave at yank or circle d a call, but a 258mm3000ish converter will be great!!

From looking at your sig and the video, I think that something between 2600-2800 would be right on...what do you have in there now?

Thanks for the help guys... No i do not tow anything, but it is my DD. A few guys i know with similar setups as my truck are running 2800 circle d and they seem to love it. I was just not sure since i know am running boost.

Budhayes3: I still have a stock converter which is I THINK 1700??

On a side note, How is your g80 holding up with the amount of power you have? Just curios. Everyone i talk to about em absolutely HATE them. I have also heard if taken care of and not abused they can hold up to quite a bit of power.

ive seen mostly stock trucks take off and break that stock g80. actually...thats how i sold my g80. guy didnt have enough $$ for an aftermarket one when he ruined his. with you being boosted and having alot of low end torque, id be nervous every time i mashed it.

Well I don't have a lot of power and my G80 is broken lol. A couple of months ago I took off rapidly from a stop and noticed that I was doing a one wheel peel
