Default Beware of Circle D!!!

First off not sure why these guys would make a converter that would keep you glued on your seat at WOT!!

Just installed their 5C 4000-4200 stall and it is one amazing piece. They spent the time to package my converter and everything. Install went well..

As far as performance, i was skeptical to go from a vigilante 3200 to a 4000 stall. And let me say, there is no difference in drivability. It drives the same. People say its looser and so fourth, but thats not the case. The 5c drove incredible.

As far as performance/how hard it hits, let me just say that it blew my vigilante out the water hands down. This converter kept pulling and pulling.. I love it..

For anybody looking at a converter dont hesitate with circle D..and dont be scared to go with a big stall. Its amazing.. I WANT TO MAKE IT A RULE ON TECH..NO LESS THAN A 4K STALL!!!

Just wanted to thank TXCAMSS and Chris @Circle D for their help and to everybody else i pm about the Circle D converter. Thanks

Chris is building some cool stuff. Definitely an industry leader.
When a company spends as much time on research and development to engineer their own distinct product ad Circle-D does, you know they truly care about their product and the customer.

I saw the thread title and was about to come here in and talk some ****, lol. Then I read it and thought hell yeah. I have one that is about to go in the 4l80e. Their converters are second to none.

I have a 4c 3800 and wish I would have gone BIGGER but it drives amazingly! Thanks Chris, Sheri, and everyone else at Circle D for making such a wonderful converter!

I installed there 4C multi disk against my 427 ls7 headed engine. It flashes to about 4300rpm (so far), The discussion I had with Chris was right on the money, a converter that drives like a 3600, but flashes to 4200-4500. Anything less would have been too tight for my cam and small juice shot.Beware of Circle D!!!-064-1.jpg

The only negative thing about the new stall is no traction! Street tires have no chance of hooking when you nail it.

Glad you're happy with the new converter and trans man.

I'm going to write Chris a note to see what he recommends for my stock 02 z28 but I don't see the 5c listed on their site.

I would send Chris an email with your combo and expectations and you wont be disappointed. I feel like he is going to recommend something around 3200-3400 though. Friend of mine has a 3800 4c and he picked up .6 in the 1/4 on street tires in a full weight f body. Flashes really good , but is very efficient on the top end and drives really good even in traffic. Chris builds an excellent product for sure.

Definitely go bigger. I am telling you, the 5C 4000-4200 stall drives amazing. The top end pull on this converter is flat out sick. I thought about swapping out my cam for something more top end, but this converter has changed my mind on it. It hits hard and keeps pulling..

Dont settle for the 28-3000. I just went from a 3200 stall to the 5C. No difference in drivability.
