I have a new cam going my my Buick 350 it has 9.5 compression, intake and carb. Should I get a torque converter and what kind should I get?
Yes you will need a converter change, a trishield performance converter would be great. But pricey. If your looking for budget parts, https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/60401/10002/-1 For some real strong launches, This is alittle lower in rpm https://www.jegs.com/i/JEGS/555/60400/10002/-1 Get a distributer recurve kit. A 3.23 or 3.42 gear and carb jetting for best performance.
I dig my crower level 3 and 2500 stall. I have 3.42 gears and my regal is a few 100 pounds lighter than a Skylark... Could have used a 3000.
