It was a cheap idea off of ebay a while back but since many people dont understand a converter rating or why it is important to have a page worth of info to send a converter company to make the stall correct, it just leaves people buying something with a meaningless number. Im sorry to hear you are having problems with your new setup but that converter is always going to feel really loose and I hope you installed a good external trans cooler or your fluid will cook in a short matter of time! There is a great deal of changes that can be made in the tune to make your car feel better, but I dont really think you will be happy with the looseness of that converter no matter what has been changed. I know its a lot of work to change the converter back out but dont try to tune around it to make the problems go away. If the really loose feeling doesnt bother you then by all means do some tuning or have someone local with a tuner help you out. This is where a lot of in-car drivability tuning will make a great deal of difference. Off the shelf pcms work good in general most of the time but in your case you need other changes to fit your specific car and driving conditions

I was afraid of the heat thing. I really wish i didnt by that damn thing now. Should have went zzp. Its making weird noises in that area and is going to a trans shop soon so it might be getting changed out for most likely a zzp 2750.
