i am in the process of building a trans for my car. how would i go about determining the proper stall speed that will work the best for my car? the mods ive done to my car are in the sig, and i also have 3.73 ring and pinon gear that i have to install. my trans will have corvette servos, shift kit, and borg warner clutches. can anyone recommend a torque converter for me (brand, stall speed, etc)?

You haven't really got enough mods to need a high stall converter. Your car is almost stock. If I were you I'd use a stock converter from an 85 TPI f-body. They had a higher stall speed than later years, and should work well with your car.

 

My car is similiar to yours, except I have 3.42's
that work well with the 305. Go with the higher
stall speed converter over keeping the stock one, mine flashes around 2300-2500 RPM's. The first time I drove my car with the new converter...WOW!!Talk about seat of the pants feel! This is one of the most overlooked mods you can do to your car. My local trans shop put in all borg-warner parts.

 

What do you guys think about these torque converters as far as quality. They are really inexpensive, so will i be getting what i pay for?

I'd like to know who makes it before I lay down the long green. Is it new, used, or just a rebuilt unit. A decent converter ain't cheap and you can get a warranty

 

as discussed here:

go with the 2100 rpm one. will do wonders for the car. used that exact one for 2 years. i have gotten 1.76 60ft with 225/60-15 tires and n2o. get 1.8 on motor.

just put one in a friends 83 crossfire. has lots better acceleration. going to track tomorrow night to see what happens. i'm going to test my new YANK SS3300 converter i got through www.vincihighperformance.com

 

Im going to order it from supersportperformance.com, they seem a little more reliable than ebay

 

Thankyou for supporting your resident vendor We have these converters available to ship usually within 2 days.

 

Cool, you will probably hear from me next week

 

I just ordered the 2300-2500 stall torque converter, and the high performance trans cooler. How long do you think it will take to get to philly? Ill probably be done my trans this week, id like to have it in within the next 10 days. Man i really miss my car
In the process of getting the bumpers painted, putting 91-92 ground effects on, trans rebuilt, and 3.73s for the rear, I cant wait!!

 

You should see it in around 6-7 days. Thankyou for your order, email me if you have any questions! mjs@supersportperformance.com
