Circle D = 10.

Why a 2800, what is your setup?

I'd go bigger, for about any combo you can still DD up to about 4000 and only lose a litttle MPG

Something around a 2800 - 3200 is what I would recommend for most Magnacharger setups. Give me a call and we can go over the specs on the car and I can recommend a converter.

If youd decide to cam it youll prolly want somethng bigger. Just make sure you think ahead it sucks buying the same part twice.

My bet is FTI gets a 10 as well. We build a special converetr for boosted cars. They are different animals than an n/a or sprayed car. 3200 or even more depending on what gear ,tire and camshaft.

I have had excellent with converters from Hughes Performance. We put a 2800 stall in a customers blown LT1 Camaro and it worked flawless for many years (until the trans. blew up). I have used several of them over the years and have their 2500 stall in my 4L60E in my GMC truck and could not be happier!!! I would give it a ten for sure!!!
Give them a call, ask for Bill!!!

I've used Pro Torque and had awesome success, I have had stalls on the lower side due to 94-95 PCM's "Stall Wall" issues. But this was back in 2003/4 so stuff has since been fixed.
