Torque converter or Trans Brake? HELP!?!?!

06-28-2001, 11:04 PM

So what you're saying is that a Trans Brake would be a bad idea. And that if I put a stall converter on I'd need a tranny cooler for everyday use? Well sucky. I'm putting in a Currie 9" rear with 3.70s and posi. Is my car going to get off the line pretty darn quick with just that? With decent-good traction? I just want something that's gonna make my car feel a helluva lot faster off the line than it does now. I know I have the torque, but my gears are terrible. They are one of the worst things about my car, easily. If not the worst, that or the tires rubbing. But I'm putting on some new heavy duty leaf springs to help that some. And the rubbings not all too bad I guess. Just a little annoying.
