torque converter

torque converter upgrade for a STREET driven truck really doesnt make sense to me. my truck (00 silverado 4.8) feels extremely loose compared to my Fbody's converter.

in my opinion anything more than an extra 1000rpm over stock in the truck would just be wasting fuel, so the TB converter would actually probably not feel bad but alot of work for no gain.

unless you are running a cam that requires more stall speed to get it going i'd leave it be.

what gear are you running and do you have the G80?
