my car is silver outside and black inside.

the pulleys are pretty noticeable and give some extra torque.

everything else on my car is really good too.

i like it alot.

A torque convertor will help off the line & in the 1/4. A t/c will give about 2/10ths to 1/2 second difference, depending on the stall speed in the 1/4. But with a hi- stall, you will lose gas milage. Also with a hi-stall, it'll feel like changing a set of gears.

A torque converter will take time off your ET! If you did all that you might as well go for it. I'd look into the PTS kit also.
They do great work!

Go for the torque convertor and run a 70-80 shot NOS setup. Your CL-S will dip!

Mchtypes is running a level ten torque convertor on his 3.5 CL Type S without any problems.

BTW, how much did you pay installed for the Kaaz LSD??? Was it a complicated install or did it just bolt right into our stock tranny's?

Congratulations and welcome! Nice list of goodies. If you're looking to bring out every ounce of performance in your car, I suggest the t/c. With all those modsl, I think it will be worth it. Then maybe nos because I don't think the sc is coming out anytime soon.

is a hi-stall speed bad, because a guy said that changing a torque converter is like changing a set of gears.

will it cause any harm to my car.

how much gas milage does it go down.
not a lot right.
