ProTorque 10r80 converter

Still hasn’t gone in the car. Ongoing work in progress. My twin turbo application will benefit greatly, just not sure I can tolerate it in the street. Opinions on street-ability seem to be mixed.

I would probably stay with them. Just tell them what you have and how you plan to drive it.

there was no advantage to the billet front

the Circle D rep I spoke to yesterday said it does help with bearing clearances. although the lock up piston is on the rear cover it stands to reason that pressure does push on the front cover...if it wasn't necessary they wouldn't be making it same with ProTorque. circle d was having issues with the billet front covers getting stuck in cranks and are redesigning them for rerelease next month. ProTorque should have theirs ready by February.

Interesting. Not sure why they would have talked me out of it. It was honestly a cheap upgrade and he said he would gladly do it but there was no benefit.

I'd believe the company. If it helped there is no way they would have talked you out of it.

Circle D Representative just emailed me back answering my question's about their converters.
