At what RPM's does your truck start moving from a dead stop with a light throttle?

I'm also curious how much longer it takes your truck to get moving in traffic from a stop, compared to stock.

Here is a good comparison. At my old house, I used to see how fast I could get it going by the time I got to the stop sign without giving it any throttle. I could usually get it up to about 15 with the stock one in there. After the TT3000 I could only make it to about 5-7. It is looser at the bottom, below 1500 I'll say, but pulls better closer to the stall speed. In traffic, driving 'normal' it usually revs to about 2000 before it starts picking up good. I drive with a heavy foot though, so yours may not be to bad.
I think the break in process is more getting all the air out of the converter and letting the clutches inside it seating up good. There isn't really a break in per say, but it does feel super loose after you first put it in. After running it for a while, it has tightened up and feels very nice. I'd do it again in a heart beat. I'm not sure I would go any higher though. It really seems to be a sweet spot.

I won't actively be looking for it...). One of the reasons I'm considering the TC is for torque multiplication at speed. I would likely be using it more from 30-60mph, or 60-90mph, etc. than for racing from a dead stop. Am I right in thinking that this type of acceleration will be helped with the TC?

I have a Vig 3200 and it's a loose converter. Hopefully with the Nelson tune it will be more streetable.
Right now with the stock tune, if you give it half throttle it goes up around 1500 before it starts inching forward. Kind of annoying in traffic, but like I said, I think it will be better after the tune.
I'm a couple hours north of you in L.A. if you ever want to stop by

Stock converter took about 1000-1200 rpm.
Get the 3000, with a good cooler I wouldn't worry about towing with it. Once you get it you'll think....OH, thats not so bad. then you'll feel the extra torque pulling you at 1/2, 3/4 and full throttle, and you won't want to go back. The 3000 is so streetable, Its better in everyday driving than the stocker.
Get the 2600 and you'll wish you'd got the 3000.
I can't think of anyone on here that's said the 3000 was too loose.

Went 4-wheelin for the first time with my TT3000 yesterday evening and in worked great. Just had some worries keeping the tranny temps down. Gotta get the tranny cooler in. Probably need to add a fan for running on the beach since you don't get much airflow at 25mph. Maybe the Flex-a-Lites will move enough air to keep the tranny cool? Time will tell. Otherwise my tranny temps are pretty low. 110 or so on the highway and 150 in town. Hope this helps!
