Default Need a REAL race converter

In the car is a Yank 4000, that was ordered as an n2o converter. The n/a pulls blew through the Yank on the dyno today flashing at over 6000 as soon as it went wot. Need a race converter. Suggestions?

A Circle D 8" modified race converter will do you right. Our combos are very similar and ours was spot on the first time out and it's getting the power to the ground.

That is so funny! I did the same thing the first time out, then I went to a tighter Circle D converter becasue the tracks around here suck in the Summer heat. When I swapped back to the 5C in good air, the car went straight on the bumper.lol. Yeah that destroyed a good pair of underwear

He would love the 8" race converter I'm running right now since he has a
TH400.

It's comparable to the 5C, but built for the non-lock up trannys like the TH350,TH400 and Glides.

I dont know why I skimped out at first and got a cheaper one to start..The difference between the TCI and circle D are night and day..This thing just hits from everywhere!! When I got heads and intake it was fun but swapping out my old converter to this does not even compare...I love this converter!!!!
