ONE MODIFICATION every truck NEEDS for TIRE MELTING acceleration: Turbo 8.1 is BETTER THAN EVER

This is one of those modifications I should've done a year ago, but now that it's done, it makes a HUGE difference in how the truck performs. UglyTruck is a 2000 Silverado 1500 2wd with an 8.1 liter Gen VII big block chevy 496 under the hood. For the last year, its been running a 4L80e transmission with a stock torque converter, but the spool up time of the S480 turbo has been a little on the lazy side of things, so I wanted to spice it up a little. I ordered a Circle D 265mm torque converter for the 4L80e with a 3,200 to 3,400 RPM stall speed and a single disc lockup for the big block truck, and all I have to say is WOW. It transforms the otherwise lazy spooling big block into a tire shredding machine, and it's to the point where i can't properly test the take off until I get some better traction from the silverado.
