*****performance Torque Converter Information*****


Recommended Posts

Well I though it would be helpful to everyone that has questions about performance torque converters and their characteristics if we posted up technical information on our torque converter. Please post some information on your setup cheers.gif

 

 

Brand: Precision Industries "Vigilante"

Size: 9.5" Single Disk

Stall Speed: 3,800 RPMs

 

Brake Stall: 3,400 RPMs

 

Flash Stall: 3,000 RPMs

 

RPM Drop: RPM Drop between shifts at WOT 650 RPMs

 

Video:

 

Engine Mods/Power Adders: Bolt-ons, 6.0L, CAI, LTs, Exhaust, Cam, 3800 Stall, 4.10s, Tune.

 

60-Ft Time: So far 1.8

Notes: This converter is a blast to drive but not for the weak biggrin.gif It requires a bit of throttle to get going but not a lot like some of you would think. The best way to feel for a stalled auto is to drive one and get the feel of it. I think its not bad for a DD, I drive my truck around town a lot and it does pretty good Chevy_anim.gif

Notes: Best investment I made really notice huge difference. If your not use to driving with a stall takes some getting use to. Once it locks you take off like a bat out of hell, I have Awd and I can roast all 4 tires easy. Also price was good alittle less the 900 brand new. I have no 60 ft time yet hopefully I will this spring.

Driving with a stall is not for those with a weak stomach or a heart condition, but once you drive with a stall you'll never go back to stock.....soooo much fun! :dry::chevy:

Brand: Custom single disc, built by local trans builder

Size: 9.5" Single Disk

Stall Speed: 3,600 RPMs

 

Brake Stall: Flash Stall:

 

RPM Drop: Video:

 

Engine Mods/Power Adders: 6.0L, L92 Topend, Livernois Stage I L92 cam, Stock airbox, LTs,Stock cat back, 3600 Stall, 4.10s, Tune.

 

60-Ft Time: TBD

Notes: I had the local car club recommend a goo 4L60 builder and had him do may trans and converter while I had the truck apart. I told him the mods and he put together the converter to meet my goals of a nice 60' time. W/O tuning for it I got .2 off at my 1st tnt of the 3600 stall. I am still waiting to see the 1.7 I am looking for but I feel its there. Drives good, given the extra pedal and loss of milage. Launches hard. I need to go beat on it and fill in the rest of my info:)

Brand: TCS products out of Canada

 

Size: 9.5" Single Disk

 

Stall Speed: 3,800 RPMs

Brake Stall: 3,000-3200 RPMs

Flash Stall: 4,100 RPMs

 

RPM Drop: RPM Drop between shifts at WOT ~1,200 RPMs

 

Engine Mods/Power Adders: Bolt ons, heads, cam, flt level 7 trans, N/A

 

60-Ft Time: 1.633 best, couple of high 1.6's, most mid 1.7's

 

Notes: launches very hard, softens the part throttle shifts due to high stall. High stall requires tunning so you don't kick codes. Not as good lock up as PI but gets pretty good 60 foot times. TCS hit the stall speed on the head

Brand: Circle D

 

Size: 278mm

 

Stall Speed: 3,200 RPMs

 

Brake Stall: 3,000 RPMs

 

Flash Stall: 3,700 RPMs

 

RPM Drop: RPM Drop between shifts at WOT 1,400

 

Engine Mods/Power Adders: CAI, ARH LTs, Exhaust, shift kit, servos, madtune

Notes: Drives like a truck with stock 3.73 gears. A mechanic drove my truck a couple weeks ago and was floored when I told him not only did I have a stall but a 3,200 rpm stall at that. He said "It drives great, I couldn't tell it had a stall at all." Honestly the AWD SSS is a bit touchy on the throttle and this smoothes that out perfectly.
