i’ve been looking around for a new torque converter and found a guy that supposedly takes trailblazer torque converters, rebuilds them with new bearings, braized fins, new tcc clutch, and says they’ll bolt right into an LS1 and stall around 2800-3200 depending on the car. i’m looking for something around 3000 for now, but plan on upgrading when i do a cam/headers/whatever else, so this seems like it would be a good way to go since it’s cheaper. think this is a good idea? or even would a stock tc from a trailblazer hold up since i know where i can get one right now for even cheaper. just looking for a cheap way to get a higher stall until the bigger mods come. i can’t see dumping huge cash for a tc that i’m going to want to change in a year anyways. ---

the one that only had 550 miles on it and stalled to 2900 bolted to a 6.0…i’m guessing that it has some track time on it already? i can get a new one from gm for 257.25 with my discount. if it doesn’t have a bunch of passes on it, i’ll consider it for sure. ---

no track passes on it at all, actually more highway miles then anything
