Mappinsj

The weight reduction for aftermarket converters usually come from the smaller diameter size

Stock is around 50ish, usually aftermarkets are around 35 or so.

Old pic of a 3400 stall i used to run vs the stock converter. Just to give you an idea of size difference.

With no fluid in the converters the 11" factory 4L60 converter is 42lbs.

It varies on the manufacturer of the converter but most 9.5" billet 4L60 converters are in the 30-32lb range if they're utilizing a billet lock-up piston like we do in our builds.

Every bit of 50lbs compared to the truck one!

The stock converter with fluid can anchor a small boat, that's all you need to know. A good lightweight efficient race converter will transform your car at any speed / rpm.
