Default th400 want 1.3-1.4 60' yank? COAN???

I'd really like to pull some 1.3-1.4x 60' with my mti 422, rossler th400 w brake and tnt 100 shot.

How good are the COAN converters? what do I need to tell them when ordering for it to fit my flexplate? are there different bolt patterns for a th400 converter?

what is my best converter choice?
yank? I am thinking a pt4200

but it appears yank is no longer a sponsor?
tci or coan as good?

th400 350 guys what are your 60's?
what converter are you running?

thanks! <img border="0" alt="[driving]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_driving3.gif" />

Talk with Mikey from Rapid Motorsports. I think he will have something for you. He is cutting 1.2's with a TCS...

I believe GeorgeC pulled a 1.3x using his JW converter.

Terry,
We could custom build a converter for you that has the correct pilot dimensions and bolt pattern to bolt to your LS1 engine. Feel free to give me a call if you're interested.
Take Care,

Kevin, any chance you guys would be willing to re-stall my current 8" JW converter and modify the pilot to properly seat into the back of the crank?

I think my converter is a little on the loose side for my application, and I'm thinking of sending it to JW for a re-stall, but having the correct lenght crank pilot would make life easier. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

George,

Just call up JW and tell them you need a crank pilot extension. I just had to measure how much my converter was out of the crank and they sent me a sweet little machined piece that slips over the crank pilot to make it extend into the crank.

I think I want to get mine restalled as well I think with the turbo motor I'm building this one will be WAY too loose for all that torque

All those crazy mid eight second drag radial cars use Neal Chance 'verters. Must be good.

I've heard good things about the JW converters also.

Neal Chance..hands down. Look at whose convertors 90% of the 1800+hp Mustangs are using. They are awesome, but pricey. Mine was 1800.00. This will be the last one you buy.
