Mike I am glad to be wrong on this. Reason: Your converter makes my bold generalization WRONG.

Could a dry clutch do that? That is where my point will stick; The Dry Clutch & (quite sadly) most of the TQ converter/combos out there. I feel strongly that about 1/2 the Converters I studied at the Norwalk launch pad were beating the revs to death for a good pull out whereas the other 1/2 pulled the car out (as) quickly with a lower RPM engine and would run a same or quicker time.

So, my point is wrong with you combo, and many other combos. So, is my point wromg most of the time?
Ahaaaaaa

SO, i happen to like TQ converters. Alot. Went "converter" in my teens. Just want to see the Converter technical Specs to be clearly recorded so we know what we're ABLE to buy, or buying. Swapping converters sucks.

We need a real good Thread on Converters, that explains how to MAKE your kind of converter with the Tight feel on the Street. Would be worthy of a Sticky.


In all my years on PY, no TQ Converter Thread has had Quality, nor been worthy.
