no the dynamics of the TQ will be the same. I can have joe from Pro-Torque speak to anyone interested in this upgrade.

we have installed several and the response has been great.

we are going to run a stock 2005 Auto on the dyno, the re-dyno with just the TQ and post the results soon.

Anxious to see the results! I am sure more would be interested in something the is "street friendly" vs "track"! A TC from someone in conjunction with VB is my next upgrade.

I like what you said in your "PM"! Have never been excited about sending my TC somewhere for upgrad and waiting.

Will a torque converter only help with launching and drag racing, or will it net faster track times at road coarses/ autocross?

I'm definitely interested. Keep me in the loop for the group mod. This could be the mod that makes me keep the AT, and not switch to the MT. I am also curious about any advantages in auto-x/road racing.
