what mods are done to the truck? Looks to run pretty decent
8.6 in the 1/8 is mid/low 13s in the quarter

I want a 3600 but i dd my truck not sure i would enjoy a loose stall
I tow fourwheelers and boats so the stall would not like me towing!

The main reason I want a 245mm is to take the weight off the trans during a shift..
it seems like the truck stays in its rpm power range better with the smaller converter, its probably the same weight as a 12" converter since the billet is so heavy.

thanks for the comments guys
