Default Selecting the Right Torque Convertor... Help me ... Someone... Please!

Hey guys,

Well I am gonna go ahead and get a new TC just need some help and direction. I am thinking one of jegs #555-60400 at the 2200-2600 stall which would be closer to my ZZ4's power band (peak 3800) but I am not really quite sure what would be best overall for the engine. Something with a higher/lower stall? What are the pros and cons?

As I am recently unemployed the $ is ever more precious. So please be reasonable with any suggestions.

I have had excellent luck with Mickey Anderson at Torco Converters. I had a billet 9.5" 4000rpm stall built for my 406 and love it. He can take your entire combination (engine, gears, ect) and build a custom converter specifically for your application; for $210 delivered (minus billet cover). Give him a call at 800-58-TORCO, or go online at http://www.torcoconverters.com.
Good Luck! :cheers:

Fevre...

It would be the stock 75 setup as far as I am aware.
