Converter for a blown application.
Converter for a blown application.
Alright, so my truck(daily driver) is out of commission(transmission) and all my car needs to be drivable is a torque converter for the rebuilt transmission. So I'd rather get one now that can be used with next years project and save up on rebuilding the allison in my truck.
So here are the specs.
Forged 383(around 9.0:1 comp)
Ported heads(330 cfm at .700 lift)
Small blower cam(224.5/231.1 .5578 .56422 114.1 LSA -.9 overlap)
CPT pro race equivalent 4l60E
12 bolt strange with 3.73's
Around 3500 race weight, although hoping for less.
Either a D1SC(maxed out) or a F1A. Obviously don't have it yet.
The car will be mostly street driven, and will occasionally see the 1/8th mile track, some autocross and some road racing. But for the most part, just a bad *** street car on drag radials.
Looking for some advice as to what converter to get. What brand, what size ie 9.5" 10.5" and what stall speed. Also would only new be advised or will a slightly used one be alright.
PS. Will it "hurt" the rebuilt transmission if I reuse the stock torque converter just for this summer? I'd rather do everything all together if possible, but I need something to drive right now and the car will be a lot cheaper to get up and running compared to my truck right now.

I would rec. Lenny at ultimate converter concepts......
He is very good, friendly and proffesional. Great dealing with lenny.....

Is that ATI as in Procharger. Anyone got a number? I'm looking at a triple disc 2800 vigilant converter. I think it'll fit my application pretty well, should stall around 3000 with my application.
