Sold: Texas Circle D 245mm Torque Converter for 10R80

[ripvanbl]

Less than 2000 miles on this practically new converter. I ended up switching to the 258mm since I'm now a boosted application. Packaged using the same materials they sent my new converter in (very thick foam). You don't have to wait 2+ months like I did for mine .

Have you raced with it and what did it pick up in et.Whats it stall at.

 

[ripvanbl]

I only did 1 test-n-tune with it after I had already gone the Whipple route, so I don't have any good data to say how much (or little) it contributed. According to Circle D, the 245mm is a 4200 stall.

How was driving around town with this converter?

It's obviously down to opinion, but I would say it's too much for a daily driver. You can "mostly" smooth it out if you have HP Tuners, but it's still a 4200 stall no matter what you do .

Still thinking on it.I dont daily my car but drive 100 miles to the track.Thats my concern with it.Was wondering what application did you order for.Like extra stall race only na.Thanks.Just dont want to install it then have to remove it be cause of drivabilty issues.

Oh, it's street-able for sure, just don't expect stock. They (Circle-D) didn't really have any options, I asked. It's one of those it-is-what-it-is, but it's not like the old days where it was almost un-drivable to have that stall. You will need to have some transmission tuning to make the most of it, especially in the 4-5-6 upshifts. These 10R80's are rough in that shift range stock ... this exaggerates it without tuning. That said, it's fantastic for an NA to be able to get the RPMs up on the line without upsetting the car. From that prospective, it was worth it to me. It just wasn't the right set up with my new Whipple.
