I have this same converter in my car 3200 stall lock-up, and i love it my car is a bolt-on car, over the winter i am going with 373 gears. I have never raced the car but after the converter change, it was like a big kick in the pants. Go for it.

I don't care for mine. 1100 bucks and its been restalled twice. Switching to PTC.
It works ok.
Listen to it shift. Barely can hear gear changes

What else other than the trans or converter will cause slippage?
Certainly isn't my fresh trans. Converter flashes to 6200 on a 100 shot and i shift at 6500. Lol

I was asking as I am running an FTI 889C in my th400 with 3.70's and a 28" tall tire. Car should be running by the end of the month but won't have any track times until Feb-Mar and it will be N/A until the tune is worked out.
Ya there 9 inch would be better. I called them up and told them my combo. They spec'd it and it's off. Had it tightened anddidnt do much. It's to bad i had to spend 1100 bucks on it lol.
I just got off the phone with Dusty Bradford From PTC. getting a 9" .
Im not wanting to bash on fti. They have been Way more then helpful. It just sucks i got a converter that wasn't and hasn't been right. I may call them up and see if they'd be willing toswap it out .

I'm betting they are willing to work with you.
I am sure they will help as well
Kyles no dumbie..it's definitely the converter. It works well on motor and flashes way to high with the bottle.
Fti is pretty good. A buddy had a cheapo converter from them in his 5.3 truck and liked it.

I agree. My brand new trans lost a cast iron sealing ring and caused it to loose a bunch of pressure.
