Default 1,000 RWHP...converter...which kind

Just doing some research.

Street car ONLY.
NO drag racing from a dig with slicks.
Single turbo + 402ci
It will have 1,000 RWHP or thereabouts.....
12 bolt with 3.42 gears
1998 T/A
Don't know the cam yet
4L80E tranny I already have this tranny, not getting a different one.

Roll runs.....whats the best stall for this type of performance and the strongest so it'll last.

Price?

Thanks.

No need for the comments about,
"on the street, hahaha"
"you'll never hook up"
"good luck getting traction"
"take it to the track"

I've heard them all........

We have just what you need. Our Stage III Multi disk is designed for extreme street cars like your build. I would suggest our 258mm giving you enough stall to build some boost but still very tight for street use. The multi will also take a WOT lock up. They are $995.

That sounds like a good price on such a heavy duty converter.

We build multi disc units as well at a competitive price . I personally would recomend the PMLS SERIES billet 10" converter. We would use a custom cnc ported stator to provide you with the perfect balance of allowing the car to spool and being able to be efficient during coupling phase to deal with the power once spooled. Boosted cars are very popular as we have done great deal of testing with these cars.give me a call and i will spec one out for you and give you a qoute. 1-866-726-8358

By the way the PMLS series converter is built from a 258mm core. The SPMLS series is a 265mm core.
