FTI Converter
Anybody use these LT1/TH400 converters from FTI? Looking for a budget converter until I do the Turbo/LS swap.

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

Ss888c snowman . Th400
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 .

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.
