I love the mopar 5 speed auto in the 6.1 cars. The new 8 speed sounds like more of a good thing.
I really like my 518.. I did loose the lock up due to
I wanted a high stall conv.. but the OD is great.. and
its a mech OD with a switch.. I can leave it on all
the time or not and switch it on for the E-way.. with
.69 OD it does drop the rpm which is nice.. 2900
rpm at 75 mph... I do wish I had a bit less slippage
but thats what I get with a 5000 stall on the street
but I do monitor the sump temps but hasnt been a problem
but I need to test in high summer temps.. I have
another cooler with a fan I can put on it if needed
and that would be on a thermo switch for the fan
When i still had a built 46RE I was running a Precision Industries "viper" converter for my truck. 3500 stall, twin disc carbon clutch. It was just over a $1,000 but it handled the power and lived under lock-up. I had custom tunes in the truck for different lock-up at different rpm ranges or no lock up at all. If the converter lock-up happened to low in the rpm it would bog the truck down. But on the bottle it like the lock-up a little lower in the rpm than when on motor. On the dyno the lock-up and non-lock numbers was a difference of 40 whp. But I like having the lighter converter without lock-up but when i start making serious power I will want to got to a bolt together lock-up converter.
