Hi Rod,
I bought my converter (2800 stall) from 'Converter Shop' in Brisbane. Found it perfect with the 221/221 cam.
The only negative being is that it made the car a bit 'doughey' down low, but, that is quite normal.
Can say, never had an ounce of problem with it.
Rang Jason at TCE today and had a chat. He agreed with Brad that the 2500 would be great for my combo. So will be ordering one of these asap.
Didn't get a reply from VCM regarding the trans cooler but Brad has advised me to wait until he gets the car and he will measure up where the cooler goes and see what will fit as
not a lot of room left to play with.
It can make it doughy on light throttle as it slips. It will wake it up if you give it enough gas to flare. Can't say I noticed much of it when I went to a big stall, guess it may come down to how tight it actually is and what parts they use in it
Glad you got it all sorted Rod.
Yes not much room for a tranny cooler with the front mount heat exchanger taking up more real estate.
I was lucky to be able to bolt up the GTS transcooler. Also I run the Camaro deep trans pan. The extra fluid helps keep the temps down a little.

Thanks Scott.
How exxy was the GTS cooler if you mind saying and where did you source it from? Might be an option if we cannot squeeze something from PWR in there.
I also have the deep pan, now have to try and source the wide mouth filter by itself (last one came with the pan from US). Anyone know if you can buy them in
Australia?
Hi Rod,
I was lucky when I bought the LSA blower second hand the guy gave me the factory trans cooler. I just had to buy some adapter fittings and hose. It all bolted up to the existing factory holes.
You don't really want to block too much airflow to the heat exchanger.
I bought a tranny filter locally. I will shoot you a PM with the PN.
Cheers

Rod forget about the Stall in the Calais, instead go the TR6060 M6 less boring than the A6 mate.![]()

Could be a long and painful process purchasing this converter. After speaking to TCE on the phone and agreeing that a 13" 2500 will be perfect, I asked what is your preferred method for me to purchase and pay as I am ready to do it now. He said do it via email. Sent said email 2 days ago, you got it, no reply
Out of the 5 emails I have sent they have replied to one, and that took about 5 days. Will give it a couple more days and then on the phone again. I just hope they are better at
making and shipping the converter than they are at customer service lol.
