Trailblazer converter

I have a chance to get a rebuilt trailblazer converter for $150. They said that they could rebuild it for some more stall rpm, maybe 200 more or so. Would that take me to far for my mods and being 4x4 with bigger tires with 5.3??? They also said they could rebuild one with upgraded parts, different bearings and shell maybe. What are some parts that I can request to make this converter better. Is it a good idea to raise the stall rpm on these converters. I know I'm trying to polish a possible turd here, but I'm on a budget for this mod. It seems like a heck of a deal. thanks

Doesnt sound like that great of a deal to me,

Should I just get the regular trailblazer converter for a $100???? Any tips on installing this converter, yeah I know pour fluid in it, any others??

IMO I would get a aftermarket unit. But i have seen guys run the i6 TB stall and run good.

Spend another $150 and get a Circle D stall.

What would be a good stall for my set up?? I'm planning on the comp 212/218 in the future. Light to medium towing.

With a lifted bigger truck I would not be able to tell you. IMO see how you like the stock stall with the cam.

The rebuilt TB stall will be fine for what you are doing. Yes, it is true that only a few more hundred RPMs can be squeezed out of it. It would take it to about a 2600 stall. Your truck can push it to the 2600 limit no problems. It is just a "beginners converter." Try it and see how you like it.

Doing a converter swap is gunna be a decent job for ya if you have never done one before.
