torque converter with a 2500 stall speed? also can it just be put in and bolted to the th350 tranny flywheel with out gettin a brand new one so it would work? also who's the best one that has good customer support if any questions need answerd? thanx guys im tryin to do some reserch before i guy one

 

anybody please. i would try a serch but i think ill only come up with my post if i serch and i havent seen anyone ask this question yet.

 

well most people just run the ol' cheap B&M or TCI converters.

Oh, people will say things like "that darn B&M converter F&^*&^%ed Up my Transmission!"

and "Darn B&M SUCKS DO NOT BUY B&M!!!"

and for the most part, those people are right.

But for a cheap 12" stock-type converter with about 2400 Stall, you cant beat B&M's price. even if you DO have rebuild you tranny every week....

now if you want a REALLY REALLY GOOD converter, then contact YANK or Precision industries, or ACT (whatever THAT stands for..)

but expect to pay ooodles of $$$$$ for it. and your still stuck with a cheap, crappy, no overdrive, Th350.

I recommend you get an ACT 9.5" lockup converter, and a Pro-built 700R4. yeah you'll pay $2100 + shipping but if you want a GOOD street combo, you gota shell out $$$$.

or spend $150 on a 12" B&M and call it a day. That what I did... to tide me over for a REAL tranny.

 

You get what you pay for. Just remember that. I'm a dealer for TCS, Torque Convertor Specialties. He's been a friend of mine longer than he's been doing my convertors. He makes an excellent performance TC. If you only want to go to 2500, he can "re-stall" a stock convertor to 2500. It's a lot cheaper that buying an all new one. The only problem is that it's just as heave as the stock one. If you want a smaller one, you can go with 11" or 9.5" which are lighter and make a big difference. I have a 9.5" 3000 stall in my car and it knocked .5 off my ET on a stock 305. Let me know if you're interested.

 

Depending on how much you want to spend, the A.C.T. 9.5" lockup can give you the best ET improvement (.4 - .6) at $565.00, with stalls from 2,400-3,200 rpm available. Or you can go with a reworked 12" at somewhat less in price, and somewhat less ET improvement. Call me if I can be of help? 800 7763288.
