Default Torque coverter please help!

My current converter is a junk 3400 stall made from gm core. I would like a converter that can hold some power somewhere around 3800 stall, I would like it to be fairly tight because I do some wheeling. I went to the Dyno and I'm pushing right threw the current converter. I need one less than 700 or perferably less! What do you guys recomend?

That's a pretty tall order. You need to make good friends with a local builder.

Did you fix your coolant temp issue?

Nope but my trans started slipping so I've got two problems! Grrrr LOL I found aftermarket 05truck radiator for 160 new and a set of 05 gm efans from local junk yard for 200 so I think when I get paid I'm going to pick them up.. Also there is a yank ss3600 stall for sale on here do u think this verter would be good for me?

Overkill on your cooling system, but it will work. The $75 LS1 fans would've done the job for you.

I think the ss yank would be okay, but since you off-road, you'd probably be better off with the tt series. But that's just my opinion.

yaw depending on how much money I have left after the trans I might end up going thAt route instead! I just want to be sure the thing runs abd stays cool before the 17th i'm going to the sand dunes and hopeing to whoop up on some people LOL! Yaw the tt serieswould be better for me, but I think they only go to 3200.... At least that's what there website says

If you get a good price on the ss3600, put it in with your repaired transmission and try it out. If you don't like it, sell it off and get something else.
