I had always planned to get a torque converter for my LT1 (whenever I bought it). What I never counted on was that "perfect" LT1 I found to have only 2.73 gears. That's all well and fine, but I've done the research and it seems the only thing I can do to keep my 2 series carrier is to get Strange gears.

My query is this: should I just forget about the gears, and go straight for the torque converter? I want a 2800 stall, and I think I want a Midwest. Think that's a good idea, even with those highway gears?

I'll have some baseline runs in after Friday.

I am not familiar with Midwest, but I would go with a 9.5" or 10" lockup torque converter before I would go with rear end gears. It might work out that you will not need the gears.

get the TC first. I say get a Yank or Vigi, though

I'd also go with a torque converter. I think a Midwest 2800 2.5 STR would be good for your car, I haven't hear anything bad about Midwest and they're putting up similar numbers to Vigilante/Yank.

i too vote for the TC. it will be easier on your rear than getting gears. also, Richmond makes gears for a series 2

i would get a bigger TC than 2,4-2,8k though. everyone ive talked to that started out with a smaller one and switched to a bigger one, wished they had gotten the bigger one first. i would go with at least a 3k. if i get one it will be a 3,5k.

3200 has such a nice ring! Get the TC(vig,yank) the best single mod besides a SC .
