Torque converters ..........again

I currently have a Trans specialties 10000 XHD ls nitrous converter . This is their 10 inch nitrous 2900-3300 low stall heavy duty . I footbraked raced all year last year and need a converter that is more suited for footbrake / no -e racing as this one will only go to 2000 against the brakes . Heard the hughes GM92 was a popular choice .
2900lbs , 236/244 duration th400 , 4.10 28 x 10.5 will transbrake in 7.0 class and will transbrake to spray on sunday grudge night plus foot brake .

Looking for brands that have been good converters .

Have you thought of Transking in Porter not far from Baytown. I and several friends have used them for years.

Re: Torque converters ..........again

Well im gambling again . One of the guys that used to work for Art Carr in Abilene , Tx started his deal . He was actually the on doing the assembly . The company id called Freakshow performance . Called him and had him spec me one out . 1 year unconditional warranty and he told me he would make it work the way it needed to . We will see .
