torque converters, what do you suggest?

Got Boost? · 05-11-2006, 08:13 PM

what kind of converter, and what stall speed do you suggest for a street/strip application on a 400rwhp car thats hooking up hard at the track and being beat on pretty good.

also would you suggest 3:73's with the combo or 4:10's (car is supercharged)

Mine is s/c with a stroker and a c4. Got it from Art Carr haven't got to play with it much but foot brake it stalls a @2800 and on the trans brake @3300. Also running 3.73

Remind us the combo again...and specifically, what transmission?

I have talked to the PTC guys and seen their converters' internals. Pretty nice and they're priced right. Plus, they're in Florence/Mussel Shoals, Alabama.

For a little more money, I'd go with ATI.

For the best you can buy, go Neal Chance.
