Unless you are going with bigger turbos if you can already spool fine at elevation there is no reason to go with a converter much looser then you already have.

Yes sir your correct. Only thing is the 1058 to loose for me? Literally it takes my truck no effort to spool.. Just not sure what to go with. Heres a spool up and launch video near my ranch that sits at 4600' elevation. I think I'm torn between the 1054 & 1058 http://youtu.be/LFhHJWpb9CE
Right but like i stated in my previous post I have absolutely no problems with my setup spooling with the ML. You've seen my truck first hand Aaron lol I feel like the 1058 would be a lil loose for my setup but you never know I may fall in love with it. I'm just leaning torwards Evans opinion since I don't have spool up issues.
I gotcha. You really don't need anything looser than what you had. Your little truck lit out of the hole just fine!!
It will start pushing through my brakes pretty good at 2300rpm. I usually launch at 16psi which around that point I'm at 2250ish im gonna say I'll have to double check on that though.
id be curious how mine spools in ABQ with the MLG if i make it out this year. so far its been no issue at 5k feet in payson. if you make it out blake, your welcome to hop in and we will go for a ride
What's the stall on the 1055? Higher then the 1054? I saw Aaron (mechanic) mention it but just thought it was a higher stall converter.
1055 is about a 2400 stall. My experience when I had a 1055 is that it couples very well, making it seem alot tighter than it is, but when you get some boost made, it will loosen up and stall like it's supposed too.
I'll be there for sure James and I won't turn down a ride in the limo
Now back to converter choice.. Boy there's alot of options out there.
I just sent my ml converter off and had them restall it and check it all out for running a single s475 and had them stall it to 2800. Night and day difference from the little bit I drove it.
I run a 1053 now. It is 2800 stall and I LOVE IT. Has zero problem spooling 72/87/1.0 compounded with a turbonetics 88mm with 112mm turbine at 4500' elevation and 7200' DA.
Ya I was thinking going the route you went but I figure heck why not give it a try and if I didn't like it I'm sure it would sell being refreshed. So far I'm happy with it here in Texas.

its more of a "let you see what a tight converter acts like up there"

Grab Brian's bottle & spray it on the line! I hope you make it James. We need more trucks in the 12.50 class.
Sorry for the derail
I'm gonna get a kit coming in then will think about converters a lil more. I do like the sound of the 1055 if it couples well and has good street manners but allows me to stall a lil higher at the track.
After chatting with him i know mike would recommend Transynd :thumb:
And after hearing why I was blown away
