Performance Torque Converter installed

Hi Pearlpower, this is what I have been waiting for.
I know you probably said this before in other threads, but please forgive me for my lazyness has taken over me in searching. What makes your TQ different from PI in which the CEL won't come on?
Thanks. I don't remember reading that you were going with this brand of TQ.

What do you mean by "horrible down low"? Did you lose low end torque? Is horrible the new "bad" that can either mean good or bad (or good?) ?

Thanks PearlPower for the response. Correct me if I am wrong, basically the reason why some 430's get the CEL is because of stall speed? The lextreme TC has a lower stall speed compared to PI?
I am glad you put it in, it gives us good feedback.

Actually the stall speed is the same at 2800. It is speculation at this time why the Lextreme has not triggered the CEL on my car-300+ miles now-vs the PI unit. Could just be my car. Lextreme says that they have not heard or come across the CEL triggering with their TC on 430's.

Well, sigh, update on this mod. After mentioning above that this mod still felt softer vs my GS4 mod with the PI TC, Lextreme answered my email. They accidentally sent me a 2600 stall unit. We are currently working on how to remedy the situation. This also explains the lack of a CEL as anything under 2650 does not trigger it for those cars that would be a problem from what I understand. Damn, I would really hate to pull the trans out again in such a short period of time.
Stay tuned.
Stay tuned.

Well, what hurts is the $50.00 in trans fluid, $67.00 in exhaust gaskets (I always run new gaskets), and my labor of course. Plus the shipping of the old unit back.
I am looking to get the correct unit to install and will update ince received and installed. I am sure things will turn out.

Just received it today! Lextreme has been xlnt in taking care of this situation.
Most likely it was my old core I sent to them and they rebuilt and changed the stall. So my old TC is back home.
I'm going to buy a trans jack tomorrow to make things safer and faster for this R&R.
I will get it installed within a week or so.
Anyone interested in buying a 2600 stall converter?
