Default FTI 4400 stall....amazing

Hey guys, I just recently switched from a T56 to a TH350. I talked to Greg a couple of times and decided to go with there SST89-0. Its a 9" race converter that is loaded to the hilt. It stalls to roughly 4400 behind my motor, and let me tell you, this thing hits like a ton of bricks when you smash the happy pedal!! Yet, it will take off by itself when you let off the brake. Its so tight on the street that it isnt even funny. Revs to no more then 2200 when just driving around and taking off from stops. Cruises around at about 2200 also. But when you nail the pedal, its just hits, and hits hard!! Ive only played with it on the street so far, but will have track results next weekend!!! Thanks to Greg and his wife at FTI. Wonderful people and customer service that is bar none. Couldnt be happier!

Glad you like it.Let us know what kind of performance gains you recieve.That same converter has been in the mid 8's behind an LSX440 at 3200 lbs.We appreciate you letting everyone know how they drive.

i agree the FTI converter drives great on the street. real nice and tight. Even going up hills you can keep the rpms at like 2200 and the car just goes up no problem. You dont have to rev the crap out of it to accelerate
