Default Thoughts on a Torque Converter

The B&M Holeshot 2400. For my car, with the mods I have + better exhaust and drag radials. Think this'll be a good converter? Also, for $175. It's B&M Part # 70419

Sorry bout that. :) I'm currently heading up a GP on Vigilante converters. You can pick any stall you want (as long as it's not the full blown racing converter which runs over a grand) for $649.00 + free shipping. I have about 10 guys who are in as of right now and it looks like the GP is going to start hopping next week. Let me know if you're interested. :)

Wow! That's an awesome price on that thing! But honestly, I can't see spending $500 more on something that will MAYBE give me MAYBE MAYBE .25 faster in the quarter mile (difference between two converters)

To each his own,,,, however .....MOST drag racers would give $500 in a heartbeat to gain .25 I know I would! However if "Drag Racing" really aint your game, & you just want a little more kick... go with what you picked...

This is a GP on 4L60E Vigilante's right? I might jump on this for my Impala SS. I only heard good things about those converters, and have used Precision's converter before and it worked flawlessly. Please let me know. :cheers:

I checked with the vendor and they approved a 2004R converter. I'll check to see if the 4L60E is acceptable, but I don't think it'll be a problem. Send me some email. :)
