can you tell me size and stall converter i'd need for my car..funds tight so may need to buy used instead of having one built for me. i'm almost done on a build job[street hotrod truck]so hoping i'll have enough cash left out of it for a refresh or used converter;;so thought i'd get a ideal what i need to look for so i can buy when job done before i have to give it all to someone else[know how that is?]

Converters

Seems to me that the average stall speed is around 5000 rpm, a little more if your tires can take it or less if you have launch control problems.

With that much motor dont skimp on the converter, you need a good one, a 10.5 inch will most likely work great.

We went with Bradco's converter and its been in two years now with no problems, Brad really knows what he's doing and he understands what you need and builds just that.

Don, call Art at Coan. He'll direct you in the right way. He might know of a customer that has one.

bradco converters are the best we have had great luck with them.
Don we run almost the same combo as you do except with a t 400 and 33x16 tires
and bigger cam and a bird catcher with 4.10 gears in a 3350lbs car

 

Converter

There is also Spec Rite Converters in Redding CA, Rod is one of the best, 530 243 8300 and you can not beat the price !!!! Good Luck

Call Greg at FTI Converters. Most of the cars in our group www.openoutlaw.com are running FTI converters and some are running high 3's in the 1/8 mi. Most are blower cars.

You will not find a guy more dedicated to making sure ou have the right converter in your car. Check out his website http://www.fticonverters.com/

 

Yes, ..... what Troy said! I talked to Greg and told him what I had, he didn't hesitate and told me what to order. Great guy to do business with!

 

Hi Dave! Are you coming down to Bradenton this weekend? The weather should be spectacular except for maybe a little windy!

 

Coan

Coan is the one to call Switched from Chance to Coan and picked up 7 mph and .14 et
The majority of the ADRL promods run Coan

 

call tcs in sc

call torq converter services in sc they are the best and agood deal

 

When it comes to performance, Coan hands down wins this battle. I run one in my Top Alcohol Dragster; as do many of the ADRL PX cars. Art and Jason have the capabilty to do anything, their facility is unreal.

Have someone coming Saturday to install my new generator in my racing trailer. I am going to try to get there Sunday, just to see what everyone is running.

 

Coan! I bought the 10.5 bolt together and they said they set it at 7,500 stall. Blown BBC altered. It is pricey but worth it.

 

I had BTE build me a converter for just about the same application. I never used it because I went to Lenco Drive. It is brand new in the box. Paid 1100 will take 550 for it. Let me know if you want the part#.
