  • converter w/o DRs?

    Would a small converter upgrade be worth my time if I never run drag radials? maybe 2400stall+?

    my impression is, yes...

    what you would do is get one with a soft launch, lowish stall, and very high efficiency.

    I think the super yank 3500 is a good choice if you are not looking to run drag slicks.

      no way is it worhth it. why do people buy torque converters- fot the launch? 2400 stall? why even spend the money? it is my belief a torque converter is a mod that should be left to the racing enthusiast, 2400 stall is nothing a racing enthusiast would buy. i wouldnt let my friends buy one. just my opinion though ;)

        Perhaps 3,000+ stall but just high efficiency with a relatively low STR so that it doesnt liquify my streetiez [img]smile.gif[/img]

          If your going to go through all the hassel of a converter change, I say get something with some kick to it..

          Even on street tires its still worth it.

          If you go with a lower STR and higher efficiency, when you DO put some DR's on and make some track passes, you may be dissapointed with your results.
