Re: Hughes torque converter A buddy , Jayme, from the Houston F-body list, used on in his LT1.
It was...ok... the car never performed as well as he would have liked it too, until he stepped up to a Vig 3600.
Then, performance from his car picked up significantly.
But the verter wasnt all bad especially considering the cost. He has no complaints that I know of other than the car wasnt as fast/quick as comparably modded Yank/Vig equipped cars.
Sorry, I wish I had more info on the LS1 side of it... but there are not that many of them out there. (Hughes-LS1's)
Try one out and get back with on your findings...
Good Luck.
