CHOOSING THE RIGHT TORQUE CONVERTER
t
What does BluePrint recommend ? -- Check with JohnyMac, on this site.
There's so much to be gained by calling a reputable converter company and running them through your build, cam specs, weight, etc. I won't buy an "off the shelf" converter based on just advertising rating. As stated above, a good quality converter can flash high, but still behave "normal" under normal diving conditions. A cheap converter can absolutely KILL a build.
if you're looking to milk every last drop of performance out of it, i would call ATI and get a customer made converter. (there are other quality brands out there too but i havent used them)
if you're looking for a good street converter, and still want them to ask the right questions, and get you setup with an economical but MATCHED converter, i like Performance automatic in delaware.
do NOT put a stock converter of any kind, behind ANY engine we make. I don't care what "hemi" or "340" it came with..I don't want it behind our engines.
#1 its OLD, and god knows if its "good"
#2 i want to see a new, correct balance flexplate on our engines.
#3 dont want people incorrectly guessing if/why/what weight is on their "used" converter, flexplate, etc. to pair it with our engines.
