I have a BD-Power T/C & V/B and has been flawless. I had on Six Gun w/PDA & Edge Juice running (seperate) at one time. Throws the power down especially in second gear. PM Kantdrive55 for info on thier V/B.

before you make drastic changes and spend money I would talk to a tranny builder. they may tell you to get a different converter than what you have or just a valve body im not sure. I have never heard anything about a banks tq conv. or ever rode in a truck that has one to know what they do or how they hold power.

Well it seems to hold the power just fine! And my pda shows that the tranny isn't slipping at all! O% Thats why im thinking about the valve body. Maybe even a whole new trans!

We build transmissions and I have worked a fair amount with their converters before.

Is it delaying before it shifts into second? Or are you getting a jump in RPM when it goes to make the shift?

It starts fine then it seems to shutter a little after it shifts into second! But it doesn't shutter if i get on it quick, but then i got the rpm issue, they seem to get up there too high especially for how fast im taking off! Sluggish feels like slipping but its not!
