Ebay 4L80E torque converters??
Hey all,
Was floating around on ebay and saw a bunch of 4L80E torque converters for sale around $200. They just say "high stall" but don't make any mention of what it should actually stall at.
Wondering if anyone is running these parts and if they are quality converters? Compared to the high price of other 80 converters these look like a bargain but if they only stall ~200rpm higher they might not be worth the money...
Thanks,

You can go eBay head studs (which I wouldn't but some had good luck) , eBay this & that but a quality converter is the life blood of everything to work properly. So save some $$ to get the better converter & be done with it or you'll be chasing after another converter & after another one & that cost $$$.

That is the truth!!!
Honestly (not being a big drag racing participant so I don't need a crazy stall guy) I think 7 - 900 isn't insane for something like a stall that is custom built for your application if you think about how precise it needs to be.
What most people forget is how driving a car with a good stall changes your attitude on how they work. I've driven a few cars with cheap stalls which set my precedent for hating them, then a friend bought a nice one... whole new attitude on cars with stalls!

Holy **** ***** Batman! I never saw a $500 converter on CircleD's website. I'm going to have to look into these. My car sees track time a couple times a year but is mostly street driven. I'm only looking for a ~2500 stall that maintains lock-up function and behaves well on the street. I have trouble spending $1K on a converter when the whole trans only cost me $600 lol. Thanks for all the input...I'll stay away from the "converters from the unknown" on Ebay

exactly the one im going to get for my truck. use the ask chris feature and send him your setup and he will let you know what converter you should run. i got my answer the next day at 7am which i think is great customer service.

As for slipping and heat...that's what a good external cooler is for and using the lock-up when cruising.
