Small (9"?) coverter available in a low stall speed.

I am hoping that someone makes an 8" or 9" coverter in a 2,200 rpm stall speed.
Any ideas if something like this is available?

What advantage do you think a small diam. converter will provide?
The smaller the diameter...The more heat. The ONLY reason for choosing a smaller diameter is to obtain more stall. A "tight" 10.5" will give you 2200 easy.

Reduced weight and reduced rotating inertia. It's and autox car so those are big concerns.

Just looking into options before I swap in a manual. As it is for Pro Solo (an autocross with a drag type tree start and 80 ft strait) the auto has advantages in launching and in 1st gear acceleration. But I lose some in the actual weight and rotating weight on the rest of the course. Plus 2nd is a higher gear than in the manual.

I'd say call ProTorque and tell Joe Rivera Jr. what you're looking to accomplish.
