Re: torque converter??

What size tires are you running? A 35" tire with 3.08 gears will feel like a pig. Even 3.73 gears will lug a bit with 35" tires. I run 4.10 gears with 35" Parnelli Jones Dirt Grips (measure a true 35"), and get a good balance of performance and highway cruising economy. I also run a TH350 trans. Hope this helps.
