Wow, what a difference!
The car still rolls forward if you let off the brake while sitting at a light, just like the stock converter. Taking off normally, it takes maybe 100-200 rpm more to get going. You wouldn't know it was there if someone didn't tell you.
Half throttle from a dead stop = some spin off the line for about 5-10 feet. Then you hook and go. Full throttle from a dead stop = spin off the line for about 10-15 feet. As soon as you floor it, the tach shoots up to 2,600 rpm and keeps climbing from there.
Driving around, I can tell the tach is climbing quicker than before. Also, my cruising rpm dropped 300-400 rpm at all speeds. This is great as it might ever so slightly help my gas mileage?
The Install wasn't bad at all. The first time the converter went in we didn't get the converter in all the way. Of course this meant we had to drop the transmission again and re-seat the converter. It seemed to go on easy, except for the last (3rd) click. In order to get it to click, we had to support the converter from the bottom and wiggle it around while pushing it in. It clicked right into place.
I only have about 20 miles on the converter, however it seems that the converter has make a very noticeable difference. So far, I am pleased. The car still has all of the driveability it did with the stock converter, and really wakes up the car when you get on it. When I have time, I'll go to the track, and get some 1/4 mile times.
I'd also like to thank my buddies Chris (Eades 5.0), Stu (RedHot91GT), and Travis for all there help. I couldn't have done this install without you guys.
