    Any problems with running a stock FDQB? How do they hold up behind mild setups. Only mods are WizAir, DP and Tune. Maybe headers, pulley, and TB in future. Any recommendations on the ZZP or W Body store TC.

    TEP trans cooler for LS4, anyone run one on a 3.8 car?

    http://www.getoverkilled.ca/wbodytech.html . Will has a section where he talks about Torque Converters. No personal experience though.

    If it were me, I would just use a stock converter on your setup. You aren't making enough power to stress it.

    Are you talking about the stock 258 or the 245.

    The 258 is a little better, but have to make quite a bit of power to have a problem with either.

    Yea, I have no idea where you heard that from, but don't listen to them. I changed over to a 245 on mine when I wen through the transmission, the NA stock converters are a slightly higher stall and lighter by 8 pounds.
