I've been through seven of them, so I think you know my vote.

It's not "information" - it's first-hand experience; I am honestly glad to hear your success with the product has been far better than ours. Cheers.

Mr. P.

I have more to say - I expressed exactly that I consider purchasing the Yank product to be a waste of money; that is NOT the same as saying the Yank product is junk, and I do not appreciate you putting words in my mouth like that. There are other alternative companies on the market which have delivered to us far better bang for the buck.

but seriously you'll probably want an 80e

Orly? You also have a turbo

I bought a stock 80e converter for my swap and will be buying an aftermarket converter later this year...if a stock 6L 80e converter is comparable to a TT3000 I'll be happy as hell.

Do any of you know someone that has done the swap in a nnbs truck that I could talk with to see how much trouble and cost this would be.
This may be true in a light weight corvette, but not in a heavy truck. 500 rwhp is living on the edge for a 60e in a truck.
