What is everybodys views on which brand of torque converter to get? When I rebuild my tranny, I am going to be going with a 3200 stall converter. Just wondering which converter everyone favors. I know everyone has their own opinion on this subject but I just want to see what the majority likes. Thanks in advance for the info.

 

i'm running a vette 2100 stall on my bolt on L98. not sure if it's helping or hurting or it's just me that can't launch right. i gained 1 MPH (probably the new high flow manifold) at the track last week but did worse in 1/4 mile and 60 ft times.

 

I would recommend going with a good converter such as a Precision Industries Vigilante (http://www.converter.com/) or a Yank (http://www.converter.cc). I definately believe you get what you pay for as far as converters go.

 

Midwest Converters

 

where can those be had at?

It's best to call them because the custom make each converter to your specs.

 

jfreeman74, thanks for that info. i did a search on yahoo after i posted the question about where to get them and found the site. the site did not say anything about them custom making the converters to the customers specs. thanks for that info.

 

When I talked to Yank about a converter, I told them what stall I wanted but I didn't get to really choose what STR I wanted. With Midwest I was able to choose.

 

What do you mean by STR? I am kinda new to the whole tranny scene. I know what the tranny does and what a torque converter and some of the other parts do.

 

Stall Torque Ratio. Some people may say that it doesn't make a difference, but it makes a big difference. If you are looking for light to light performance go with a higher STR. I wouldn't go above 2.2-2.3. If you are just looking for track performance and highway(high speeds) performance, go with a lower STR 1.8-2.0.
