Opinions on converting to c4

There are some considerations you need to examine. Is the car your daily driver? Actually, that isn't that important if you take it easy with the converter.
I just switched from a c-4 to a t-5. I wanted the fun associated with driving the t-5. I had a built c-4 (have, it's in the garage for when I blow this t-5 up), 2800 stall b&m converter, shift kit, reverse manual valve body, billet one piece input shaft, and aluminum driveshaft. Check my specs below to see my runs with it. I haven't made any runsd yet with the t-5, but it feels faster. 2nd gear feels like 1st in the c-4, third gear is second, and 4th is third. So, you can imagine, with 3.55's, you are reving like 2500 rpm on the highway. That part gets annoying after a while. while with the t-5, you are at like 1500 or so. you know what? find someone with a c-4, and go for a ride, see if you like how it feels. Also decide if you no longer wish to have the conrtrol you had with aq 5 speed. just my .02
