3/10th's is a good gain from a converter. I was just on their site and it only listed the "APS 5.7L "HemiVerter" - Performance TQ Converter" for our trucks. Is that what you have?

i was talking about the famous "c clips" in the anti spin rear... not the gears... asuming he has anti spin... if not, he needs a good locker anyway to get that power to the ground... no use having a bunch of power if you just spin the tire

I didn't include gears on the list bc I already know what I am getting when the time comes to do the gears. They are on my list after these other mods are done.
