if TSP = Texas Speed Performance, then your website needs updating. There are NO torque converters listed for the Gen 6. Gen 5, yes. Gen 6, No. What's weird is that Circle D doesn't even list a converter for the 8L90 on their website..but yet Brett (Pray) has one.

Go Circle D!! I have one in my 5th Gen and do 1.42/1.44 60fts at the track.
I have a Circle D 4C sitting right here waiting to go in my 6th Gen. Correct, the 8L90 converters aren't on their website, but they do make and sell them!

Is the Circle D unit a full billet piece or are they still cutting stock units? I'm shocked Yank hasn't released anything yet.

Circle D doesn't have pre-made torque converters just sitting around. They make them specifically for your car based upon mods.
You get a 2 year warranty, also during the first 2 years, if you add anything to your car that requires a higher stall, you just pay to have it shipped, and they change it, no parts or labor costs. Also while running a looser converter, a transmission cooler is cheap insurance to keep your transmission running good for years.

You should pick up at least a half a second of ET with the right converter. They have always been great 'bang for the buck' mods. I picked up .3 in the 60' going from a Yank Stealth Thruster 2800 to a Yank SS4000 (1.7x to 1.4x). Picked up .6 in the quarter from 12.20 to 11.60. That was in my 99 LS swapped Camaro.

You will drop about .1-.15 off your 60ft. With 5 forward gears now and how pretty darn good the stock converter is it is hard to realize the gains like back in the 3 speed days. The biggest benefit for me was the daily driving and normal acceleration stuff. The car just completely woke up. It is truly a joy to drive now.
