What are people running for a torque converter???
My truck has a 5.3L with mild mods(intake,exhaust,mass air meter,coolent bypass,throttle body spacer,programmer), 4.11 gears, and a shift kit. I was wondering what converter you guys think would be best for me without costing a arm and a leg. Also what converter are you guys running??any help would be great.

People are claiming a .3 sec or better 1/4 mile improvement with the inexpensive Trail Blazer converter. I just ordered one on ebay. Think it was $271 shipped. We'll see
