Intercooler have a quick question you said earlier that if you ordered another converter from them they would give you a discount? I would like one in the next month just wondering if you could make the oder and send it out :beerglass :beerglass

I can contact Steve and see but I think that was for a billet unit. Do you live in Canada? The 10" lock-up isn't too bad at $450.00.

Do you think I would need a billet? Im only gonna be running high mid tens and have under 750 horsepower.

The standard is rated to 750 HP. Are you using a brake? I bought my standard when the billet wasn't around. I would spring for the billet now. I still plan on keeping with my standard and my car will do those times. And I launch off the brake! If you got the money go for it!

Im not gonna be using a brake, so is that less stress on the converter and your whole car for that matter?

Doober (Tony),

I see in a previous post you are going to a 67GTQ and are thinking of 3200-3300 stall.

I would recommend at least 3600 with that Turbo or the lag may be too much. depending on what you want to do.

I have been running a TA60 with a Pat's 3000 stall converter and have recently bolted on a 67GT with P-trim just for fun. With that stall there is way too much lag (In my opinion). My 60 foot times went from 1.7-1.8 to 2.1-2.2.

I am going to a 3600 with that turbo and see what that does. A friend of mine has a PT61 with 3400 stall and he is moving to 3800. As far as I can see there are no downsides to having too much stall as driveability on the street is still bearable.

I think on the Precision site they recommend 3500 stall at least.....

The flip side is that with a lower stall, sometimes having the lag helps to not break the tires loose on the street, but once it spools....HANG ON !!!!!

I am sure others will have thoughts on this too.......
