I have one. It's one of the best mods you can do if you like to drag race.

Hey how does the convertor feel driving around town? Is it loose or a tight stall?

The converter has very good street manners. Easing into the throttle it feels just slightly looser than stock. Nail the throttle and your rear tires are up in smoke all the way through 1st.

Did u gear your car to? Seems like the stock gearing with the auto's your crossing the finish line at pretty lazy RPM's.

It's a stock long block with just bolt ons. The CAI is a one of a kind that I made, Jet TB spacer, CMRC deletes, Steeda U/D damper, Meziere water pump, Hooker LT's X-pipe, and FRPP race mufflers. Zex nitrous kit. Prothane motor mounts. A Bamachips tune. An auto tranny with a TCI 3000 stall converter, FRPP 4.10 gears, Eaton Limited Slip. Lighter Steeda/KVR brake rotors. A shortened FRPP Ranger aluminum driveshaft. BMR rear suspension, and front sway bar delete. Bogart racing wheels, Hoosier Drag Radials 28", M/T Front runners. A MMR rear seat delete. Kirkey aluminum race seats.

Here is a question you might be able to answer...if I put a supercharger on my 2007 auto, and want a very compliant daily driver, would it be better to leave the stock 3.27 gears and torque converter in?

I'm not going to be going to the drag track really.

Thanks for any insight!

Yes, 3.31 sorry. I made a new post now that I've done some research. TCI or Emerald for a TC. But I still don't know if I would need one.
