I want to go to a bigger converter, but I’m not sure how big. I am running a 3200 yank right now, but it is not performing well anymore, and I’m thinking it is too small for my big cam. I'm building the car to be street/strip. How big of a stall should I get, and what kind of converter? Car info is in sig and mpg is not a concern.

 

What is it you don't like about it?

 

it bogs, it locks up at the wrong time, shifting is erratic. it’s just not reliable; one day it’s ok the next it’s not, and i know what you're thinking ,"It's Not Tuned", but this car has been tuned several times with this converter and it's just not a good combo.

 

Ttt....

 

Yank or TCI 4400. If you do alot at the strip you will love it.If i didnt drive mine everyday i would pull my 3500 fro one

 

What are the specs on the comp cam "BIG" you have? I think 4000 would be a happy medium-Fuddle has them pretty inexpensively.

 

i wish i had the specs for my cam but i don't. I can't find the cam card, but i know it's a big cam. I'm gona find out when i pull the motor.

 

If its 240+ I would go a 4000 stall. Around a F13 or 230 3600. Anything less then a 3200. TOrque converters take well to a properly setup trans. The issues you are describing sound like problems with the tranny tune. No converter will take those problems away - just make them worse.

 

I just installed a 3800 Fuddle Converter on my car and Love it! The thing hits hard as hell. I ran a PI 3600 converter a while back and this converter feels like it hits much harder than that. I am betting on High 1.5s low 1.6 60' times at full weight. I went with the 2.3 str. You should call Fuddle and see what they have... Just my .02 The cost is great and I have heard no complaints or problems with their converters.

Good Luck.

I daily drive a 5100 stall and i LOVE it!

 

really??? my car is not daily drivin, and i definitely want to go big. You don't have any problems driving with that big of a stall? I was goin to maybe go to a 4000, but if your are tellin me your daily driving a 5100 i might just go even bigger.

 

i'm gona give fuddle a call

 

No problems AT ALL! It feels a little sloppy when you first drive it but you get used to it.
My car gets a little loud in parking lots, cause i basically have open headers and a spool so if i turn the wheel all the way and try to move it kind of sounds like i'm stalling it up. but thats cause of the spool.

 

the lowest i would go is 4400 with a huge cam
