Need a new converter. Can't make my mind up on which one is better for me. I don't tow very often but still like the option too. I'm going to be drag racing/ sled pulling/ and dd. Mainly dd. Truck details below.

I'd think a r would better for your application.. at least I think it's looser than a k.

Don't think you have enough power for a K.

That's what I get for assuming the higher in the alphabet the higher the stall.. makes sense why the LL? Is as loose as it is..

Thanks for clarifying Mike, I need to research their converters more.

I have ran a 1055 and a 1055-2 and i def like the looser stall of the -2 converter.

But, in the same sense we have went with a 10.6 with a Y goerend which i believe is comparable to a K from what Dave G told me and has awesome street manners. It spools a 76/87/1.1 nice.

A 1055 is the jack of all trades from my experience, until you get into pretty seriously big stuff. That said, I've appreciated goerends customer service the past couple seasons. I've ran an R, but was a modded stock turbo. So it wasn't really pushed
