First up, mods if this isn't in the proper place, I apologize and please move it. Also if this is a repost, again sorry.
But, basically I've been eyeballing a 20G setup while I build my 10:1 long-rod G4CS and twin-scroll HX40 setup and get all that stuff ready....however there are a metric ton of HX35's popping up for a great price. My thing is, I refuse to go with a restalled converter. I hate driving any restalled converters on the street, as that "snap" you get with the stock converter is gone. Hate all you want, I can't get around it so I'm sticking with the stock converter, period. Really don't want to deal with nitrous either...
So, to put it simply, does anyone have any experience with the stock converter and an HX35 in the .55 a/r DSM bolt on housing? Were you able to stall it up at all or not?
Setup for now is a 6-bolt 2.0L with 8.5:1 2G pistons on 1G rods, 1G head, HKS 272 cams, Cyclone IM(Actuated via TunerPro), etc.

Damn it Crash. I thought I had my mind made up.
