Default Circle D - New Converter Line

First I want to say hello to LS1Tech, I am a new sponsor, and wanted to drop in and introduce Circle D. I don't want to bore you with our past, but we have been in business over 30 years, in Houston, TX.

Now on to the "New converter". We have a new design for the LS1, I think it is the strongest and lightest billet front on the market. The whole converter weighs 27 lbs. We also utilize a 3 bearing setup that allows the converter to maintain clutch clearance even under extreme horsepower. We also use a light weight Billet Piston, weighs under 4 lbs and still has great strength. Check out the link and let me know what you think.

I am still working on the website, so not all the links work.

You spelled "Camero" wrong on your web site.

Price is $800. No core, Custom built for your car.

Stall, efficiency, STR, and Drivability are all considered in selecting the parts combination.

That is a little steep considering you can get a Yank or Vig for 100 or so less. Or pehaps you verters are ready for N20 at that price or HD TCC ??

Our converters are stronger, lighter, and built one at a time for your application. They can handle 700+HP, even with nitrous. I have a 3 or 5 disk lock up clutch for locking up under WOT. 2 year Warranty and an included re-stall or freshen up. I also gurantee I will make you faster.
