when my truck was my DD i loved my 3k stall! 1st gear was useless on 20s with 3.23s. i guess 1 con would be the loss of M.P.G. but i didnt care

The TT3000 is a good all around affordable converter but if you are going to throw a big shot of juice at it you might do better with one of the other more expensive Yank or PI converters.
Start out with a shift kit and servos. Add a big transmission fluid cooler before you go and add a converter.

Imo and I'm sure I'm not alone on this one a 3000 stall is very streetable. And you say your planning a cam swap in the future so why not run the converter now and have a little fun with it.

3000 stalls should come stock. the trucks are so much easier to drive with them. someone who drives easy wouldn't even notice a tt3000.

I put the yanktt3000 in before the cam swap and it was hardly noticeable and didnt drop much in gas mileage. It def made a big difference and was a lot more fun to drive.

The TT3000 is a great starter verter for a mildly cammed or stock 6.0. Your DD habits will not be affected.
