Helping out a buddy..Edge converter??

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

hey, i got a buddy that has a 99 ls1 camaro full bolt on car.. he has an edge 3600 converter it goes 7.70's in the 1/8th it runs good. Saturday night he was doing alittle street racing and his tranny blew the servo out of the side, which then cracked the tranny case... he trailered it home now its sitting... to make a long story short i asked him what is he gonna do. he said order a performa built tranny and do a yank 4400 converter...

i offered him 300 for his edge converter with his free restall he said yes. will this work in my truck? after searching several post im assuming yes. i plan to call andre sometime this coming week.. what stall/flash should i shoot for? i want this thing to get off the line, it barley even break torques the tires.. its sad.

i have a 05 crew cab gmc 5.3 full bult ons, 4"cai, magnaflow, hp tuned (hours of ve, timing, maf, and shiftpoint tuning, and 285/70/17's dont plan to go any smaller .. down fall it has 3.42 gears right now, i do have a front factory 4.10 front diff i plan to put in out of a wrecked truck, and motive 4.10's for the rear in the future.. its a dd, and i dont tow much if anything.. maybe a 450r atv in the bed every now and again.

its a turd 10.80's in the 1/8th. 10.10's in 4lo! from a 30 roll it's a different truck you guys know what im talking about. i was gonna do a circle d but if this will work in my truck im gonna help my buddy out by buying it and benifit me from a decent named converter..

sorry for the long post,
steve

No cam? 2800-3000.

[whitedakota]

no, no cam as of now... wouldnt mind a 212/218 high lift i believe it is someday... but hopefully the 5.3 takes a poop and i can find a 6.0 long block on here or performancetrucks.net that somebody has rebuilt...

It should fit your truck as far as i know. Be sure to make sure it doesnt need shimmed.

[TXsilverado]

junk...poor quality in the build. i saw the internals of one last week and it was cheap.
