I also have some 60 pound injectors I am getting ready to install (with an upgraded TT chip).
I have a freeze plug on the back of the block that is leaking, so I figure I might as well throw in a new converter as long as I have the tranny out.
I am getting ready to order the converter next week (I am thinking either a 2800 or 3200 stall). I plan on upgrading to a new turbo next summer, so I want to make sure I get the right converter for my future turbo (stock turbo now). I had a 9 inch Art Carr 3000 stall converter I got from you back in 01 that I loved (with a stock turbo).
I am not a racer. I just like to nail it coming away from a light, etc. I am willing to give up some on the top end for a stronger bottom end. My ideal turbo is one that would spool instantly, and produce the most power in the 19-21 pound boost range. I keep looking at the TE-44, 6157, and the new 6262. And the GT-3255 still keeps sticking in my mind too. I Am not real familiar with the Turbonetics that you carry though.
Based on my current setup, what turbo and stall (converter) would you suggest. Do you need more information to make a recommendation?
Thanks,
Rob
