You have a HD2 and Nelson Tune and it wouldn't stay in gear? I really don't think that guy had any clue on what he was doing!

Just dyno it and prove us all wrong. You won't gain hp by installing a torque converter though.

Never let this guy work on your truck again.

I don't think he knew what he was doing either. I wonder if he even loaded the dyno? If the dyno was capable of loading.

with the stall it should show less power. After a tune,injectors, stall and some tranny mods I only gained like 4hp. Thats going from 4.0" to a 3.7" pulley on the procharger too! So your dyno numbers should probably show less.

Keep the TC clutch locked during the dyno. Numbers will be better.

I'm not sure what the story is on their converters but, I've never seen a "I love my TCI converter" post. I only see "My TCI crapped out and destroyed my tranny" posts.
