great !

 

Thanks for the response to my "PM". Will there be different TC for different driving conditions (i.e. Street Vs Track)?

 

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.

Dan

 

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.

 

I have 5AT TipTronic, am a Newbie, hope i dont' get flamed for this one......what does the Torque Converter do from a dead stop to fully depressing the Accelerator pedal??????
will the Launching be a lot quicker from dead stop to go?

 

go to http://www.ProTorque.com for all the answers on what a torque converter upgrade is for.

I'm interested once I see the results of your Dyno test.
Thanks....

 

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

 

any new info about this? i live in AZ, who could install it?

 

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.
