Thanks for all the info man. Didn't realize the TB Vertor's were like that at all. I thought they would be more mild than that being a factory stall (mild meaning taking less rpm to get it moving). Have always wanted to drive a truck w/ one to get an idea of how it would act. Does'nt the amount of peddle to get it moving have alot to do w/ STR? So in essence the higher the STR the better the driveability?
do it right and go with the 3000.........
Ive been through about 7 converters... believe me for a DD the 3000 is almost perfect blend of DD and race...

lol man, 7 convertors....didn't realize you went thru that damn many. Thanks for the info, that is pretty much what I'm after a good balance of both. Slightly more driveability than race tho....

A higher STR will have a tighter feel to it, but it achieves a 1:1 ratio quicker. A lower str will "pull" more over a longer rpm range. A higher STR 2.5+ is better with slicks and closer to 2.0 is for most street vehicles (hard launching).
With that said a 2.1 STR for the TT2600 is really considered a tight converter because the overall size of the converter is larger.
There is a graph on Yanks site that explains STR and it effective rpm ranges pretty good.

I run a sstb3200 which is actually meant for a trailblazer. The great thing about it is that it's extremely tight and since I daily drive my truck I can still shift at 2k rpms at part throttle. Now if I go about 75% throttle it will flash to about 2400 rpms and WOT flashing from a dig it goes right up to about 3100 rpms.
Very happy with my yank.

I have the TB stall in mine right now, and it just dint feel like enough with my cam, I had another truck with a tb stall also but it was a 212/218. I just got a yank tt3000 for this truck and waiting for time to put it in, cant wait!!!!! IMO, go with at least a 3k, our trucks are really sluggish out of the hole in case anyone hasnt noticed.
