    converter after cam install

    Just rebuilt my 5.3 installed a 218/224 cam with supporting parts,long tubes etc. Next is the transmission but just wanted an opinion on what stall/brand. Truck is my Dd I do tow a small boat randomly. Any help would be much appreciated

    Taking into consideration of what you said, I'd say a 2800 with a big trans cooler.

    What brand I'm debating between circle d and fti. When I rebuild my Tran I was going to bypass my factory transfer cooler and Run a bigger external one

    For me I stuck with stock converter as my enclosed trailer with my truck inside isn't light.

    My truck has a 218/218 in it and stock stall is fine for driving least for me

    I live in area with all hills
    2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
    2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
    2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
    2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
    2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
    412 Motorsports

    it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference
