I have a PTC Converter that i used on my NA LT1 motor, would this converter be up for a 900 HP BBC? or should i look into using a ATI or TCI

 

you will need to send it back and get restalled for your bbc+depending on what converter it is,it may need some upgrades to handle the power

 

^^beat me to it

 

that thing will be soo loose it will scare you behind a BBC.... that larger motor makes tons more torque!

 

I understand i have to send it back ( figured that one) but alot of guys i know said they were not that great for big power ? But im not ganna let it sit there and go to waste... Im ganna stick it in there! Shawn i have not forgot about sending you my motor .. Money ran dry ..

 

if its a 300 dollar unit, they arent up to the quality of there more expensive race converters.
spend the the money once and do it right.

 

PTC is VERY good.
Send it back and get them to restall it for you.

They helped me get into the 8's

 

I know a guy that ran a converter set up for a 6 cylinder in his 540 that ran only 2 tenths slower than with a converter I let him borrow that was more set up for the car but it broke (and mine broke ).

We run spragless converters in our cars, got tired of breaking them. Haven't had any troubles since.

 

PTC is a great convertor and consistent my buddy is running 6.teens in the 1/8 th in a street car

 

Give them a call and see what they say. PTC will build that convertor to hold whatever you can throw at it. They will restall it for $75...any upgrades would be additional of course....you cover shipping.

I dont see a reason to buy a new convertor when you can have that one built for a fraction of the cost.

 

i should have said there is a night and day difference between a ptc budget converter and ptc race converter. didnt mean to sound like i was talking about other brands.
ptc is good stuff.
i run a th350 tranny from them and love it.
great prices and quality work.

 

THis converter is deff. not 300$ when i got it for the Lt1 it was more like 650$.. Im going have it sent back and restalled/beefed .. What ever they suggest needs to be done. Thanks for all your input fellas

 

you are good to go then.
im sure they might suggest something, but ask them about changing up the stator to see if you could pick up some....

 

As mentioned, at minimum a restall is needed. Higher HP #s mean a better build converter, but it seems you've already found out what you needed. Good luck, 900 ponies hooked up will get you a quick pass!

Thanks guys! Ill let you know what they want to upgrade...

 

900 crank power will get you a 5.70/9.0 pass.

 

Thats what im shooting for.. Hopfully we can get it done!
