Default washed the truck, new trans and converter

i got my transmission back in my truck yesterday evening, a built 60e with all of the bells and whistles except billet shafts, along with a circle d triple disk 258mm 3800 stall (thank you SlowTruk) so i cleaned up the truck today and went for a little drive. i know its not that fast but for being a 199k mile 5.3 and my dd, im happy with it....for now.

Was that with the converter? any before/ after results.

I want the SSTB3600 245mm converter on day when I fork out the money, maybe next year...

Whats the difference in the 258mm and your old 12in? does the smaller 258mm drive better on the street? Did you notice if it was a bit lighter to free up some rotating weight..

The main reason I want a 245mm is to take the weight off the trans during a shift..
