im currently getting a built motor is a stall a must

 

It's not mandatory but while you got the motor out you might as well. (If funds allow it.) A good converter is worth a couple tenths by itself.

I personally run a Precision Industries 2400-2600 stall and it's got good street manners.

 

Same here, and I agree 100%

 

I now run a Factory Tech Forged Billet Total Domination Converter
WOO WOO WOO WOO is all I can say, it's like having a manual transmission (without the hassels of shifting)

 

Forged billet?

 

Its Rob, and he's on a roll

 

YEP (at least thats what they tell me)

For the more serious modified trucks, we offer the Factory Tech Forged Billet Total Domination Converter. This is a full on race torque converter, stalls at 2400 - 2600 RPM's and offers a forged cover plate, anti balloon plates, furnace brazed construction, double Torrington bearings and comes with a 12" cover plate with an 11 1/4" impeller and turbine. The Total Domination Converter is just that, and can handle almost all the power and torque you can throw at it. These units are built to order and always take two days to build.

I guess if I ever have a Serious Modified Truck I will have to buy one of those, but untill thanI will stick with my PI

 

Figured as much.

Looks like the coverplate is forged. But forged billet still made me laugh.

 

I like my PI.

 

Seems like most the people around my way with the monsterbox have a hard time getting off the line.

I know everyone says this stall or that stall works best, but as far as 60 footing the L's are kinda lazy for all the torque they make.

Anyone beside me feel theres gotta be a better setup? Seems like to get off the line with a MB you need to make over 550 HP. My 60's on F1's are about equal to my buddy who just sold his L with a MB and slicks.

 

I would of in the past argued that you cant beat convertor with slicks...After running a 2,600 stall with 28" ET streets I'm than dissapointed. I mustered consistant 1.75s and that launching @ 2,200-2,400 and hammering it. No spin...tons of wrinkle...it's as if the 500+ ft#s of tq dont exist when it come to the track.

 

Might pay to leave from an idle and try to shock the suspension.

 

i also run this converter and love it

 

I just put my 2600 Dante's in yesterday. Haven't had the chance to really try it out yet, but it didn't drive much different at all on the way home. I'll find out Friday at the track rental If I can improve my 1.73 60' best with Nitto's with my new M/T drag radials and converter. As long as it doesn't friggin snow that is.
