9.5" lock-up 2004R, 700R4, 4L60E, 4L80E Triple Disc 2400-6000 RPM's



9.5" GM TORQUE CONVERTER
FOR STREET, STRIP, AND RACE
.5 sec QUICKER ET'S!

The Vigilante is Precision Industries top of the line converter; It is only for those who demand the best ! It is individually made for each specific application. The 9.5" diameter converter is a very versatile size capable of providing a wide range of stalls to handle muscle cars with many performance enhancements. The 9.5" is excellent for the high end street and strip car, and is strong enough to handle all out race cars.

9.5" GM TORQUE CONVERTER
FOR STREET, STRIP, AND RACE
.5 sec QUICKER ET'S!

The introduction of lock-up torque converters from the OEM manufacturers in 1979 created a challenge for the high performance torque converter industry to develop, design and manufacture this type of torque converters. Benefits of the lock-up torque are less heat in the transmission and better fuel efficiency. Precision Industries designed the first 9.5 & 10.5-inch lock-up torque converter in 1992. Precision Industries starts the production of these torque converters with a 98 pound piece of billet steel that we machine in our CNC equipment ending up with a one piece front cover weighing 12 pounds depending on what converter series we are building. The billet front cover is one of many reasons that enable Precision Industries to produce a superior product over many of our competitors that try to imitate and copy our product designs We prefer machining our billet front covers over purchasing forged steel covers due to balancing, excessive weight and density problems that can arise from forgings. Benefits of our cover include increased clutch surface area by as much as 5 times over OEM specifications. The increase in clutch surface area along with the unique clutch lining we use ensures that no matter what the application you can retain the lock-up feature for efficiency without durability issues.

STALL SPEED
Torque converter stall is a commonly used term and is commonly misunderstood. Stall is the speed at which the converter will hold the engine speed and not allow further gain (i.e., the engine "stalls"). The key word here is engine. The speed at which stall occurs with a given converter is a function of engine peak torque. It is clear that the stall speed on a given converter will not be the same coupled to a tame small block engine when compared to a big block with all of the muscle features added. When comparing stall speeds it is important to account for the engine that drives it. True converter stall can best be determined when a Transbrake is used. Testing for stall value by locking the wheel brakes generally does not produce a true stall value because the engine power can often cause wheel turn by overpowering the brakes. Stall speed determined by this method should be identified as such when discussing stall speed determination. Flash stall is determined by launching at full throttle and observing the peak speed attained at launch. Selection of the right stall speed for your vehicle should be matched to the engine peak torque, engine torque curve shape and vehicle weight. In general, the stall speed selected for your converter would be 500 to 700 rpm below the peak torque. This speed allows the margin for application of the torque reserve on takeoff. When selecting stall speed without having prior experience to go by, it is better to conservatively estimate the engine torque than it is to over estimate it. If you over estimate the torque output you will have a converter with a stall speed too low, making your car slow off the line and have slow ET. A properly selected stall speed will give you better launch and better ET. You can see why it is important to consult with professionals prior to making a stall speed selection. Within the converter, stall speed is balanced off against inefficiency after launch. Getting desired stall at the expense of performance after launch is just as costly as improper stall speed to begin. The optimum converter has careful selection and design of changes to the impeller, turbine and stator.

HOW CAN I DETERMINE THE STALL SPEED OF MY CONVERTER?
Stall speed is very difficult to determine unless your car is equipped with a Transbrake to lock your drive train. Testing stall speed by holding the wheel brakes and running the engine against the locked brakes will usually result in wheel rotation before true stall speed is reached. The engine simply overpowers the ability of the brakes to hold the car. When rotation starts you are no longer at stall. For this reason people talk about brake stall which is not a true stall at all. An alternative method of measurement is to launch at wide open throttle and observe engine RPM reached at launch. This is flash stall.

#
Unique One Piece Billet Mounting Cover - The customized billet mounting cover has no welded brackets. This smooth one-piece design reduces the rotation mass, eliminates wobble for less run-out, and keeps the converter perpendicular.
#
4130 CNC Machine Turbine Hub - High quality 4230 alloy prevents premature wear.
#
Fully Enclosed Torrington Thrust Bearings - Holds the lube oil at stall for better lubrication.
#
Fully Furnace Brazed Impeller and Turbine - Adds strength, increases efficiency and eliminates oil leaks.
#
Anti-Ballooning Plate - Keeps the converter for ballooning at high RPM's
#
Reinforced Turbine Vanes
#
Heat Treated Precision Hubs
#
Electronically Balanced
#
Pressure Tested

Bob,

What is the difference in this Verter and a Yank 3600 ??
I have my mind set on a Yank 3600 but you put some curiosity in my head with this triple disk Vig. What is the advantage of a triple disk over a Yank ?

Thanks
