I've got a 2500 Dayco in my Z28 and it's done just fine since I put it in 2 years ago. But the Z runs mid-14s with a major traction problem, so I really couldn't say what it would do under 450 fp of torque.

Most Dacco converters are fine for normal duty. I have my doubts about HD use though. If you can drive the car now it would help so you could evaluate it. The oil must be cherry red also.

My Dacco is working pretty good but I only bought it because I was on a seriously small budget at the time - not because I thought it was the best thing since rear view mirrors. I wouldn't mind swapping it out for a Vigilante..........
