Default Circle D 4C or 5C?

Looking into swapping out my 3200 stall for a circle D converter. Cant seem to make up my mind on these stalls. The car is just gonna be a H/C daily driver, fun street car. I also have 3.73 in the rear. Just wanting to hear from other members who are running them? How you like the performance? Do you wish you went bigger or smaller? Thanks

With 420rwhp and 536rwtq on a 150shot bolton car. My 4C took me to a 7.12@95.79mph 60' 1.53. Also on 3.42 gears...

Depends on ur cam size also for which one you'll need. There's also a link for asking him what you need.

He's been really good with me, and I'm sure he'll be the same with you also. Glad I could help.

Depends on your cam specs. If you have a bigger cam (like I do) then the 5C works great. I love it even on the street. But if you have a smaller to mid size cam then I would go with the 4C. Either way I doubt you'll be unhappy.

Thanks guys.. Glad to hear you are happy with it. I have a 230 duration cam. So maybe the 4c would be perfect. But i just dont wanna regret not getting the 5c.

If you have a 230 duration cam, 3.73 gears, DD street car I think the 4C will be good. The 5C is not out of the question, but if it is not much of a track car I think it would be overkill.

I have Chris's 4C (I have this going against a little more TQ and HP than the average LS1), so the flash stall is going to be more like a average built LS1 with a 200 shot. Just about ready to drive this after the 4l80E swap. Can't wait to see how this Multidisc does vs. old Yanks, PI's and PTC I've owned over the years. Judging by the vids it looks like drive ability will be similar to my Yank 3600 Thruster Pro. By the way Chris, that verter is a work of art.... Almost did not want to put it in... It will interesting to hit that verter with a 200 over the 725 engine hp. Hopefully, it won't blow threw the shift points. I'll be locking it above 6K rpm anyways to help that out. High 8's will be in my grasp (low 9's for sure). Got to at least see the tail lights of our LT1 based monster that has 14.5 to 1, big mechanical roller, 18 degree heads, 2900 race weight, and a Hogan’s tunnel ram with a 500hp multi stage plumbed in.
