ok I am looking into buying a converter for my 1998 corvette first off I drive this car daily on the interstate about 70 miles and am not wanting to kill the drivability. I realize that the drivabilty will suffer some but I want as little as possible I am guessing I will need around a 3000 stall cause I am planning a cam swap in the near future. I am also wanting to know if anyone has ran a ATI converter and if so what was the results. I know most everyone likes the precision or the yank converters but again this car is not going to be a weekly racer as I have a race car. I am just wanting a little more out of the car to play with and I have access to a new ati converter at a good price but again I don't want to go through the work if the converters are giving people problems. Thanks for any advice in advance

 

I have another question about a converter swap my car has 78,000 miles or so on it and the tranny is shifting and working fine with no issues. I was wanting to know if anyone has ran into problems with their tranny after a converter change I have never seen any problems with other type's of tranny's but wasn't sure on the 4l60s thanks again.

 

ATI is a quality company and makes a fine product.
Never an issue with my 9" behind 700hp in My Nova.
Call em! Good customer service.

I have a 2800 stall in my S/C 600 RWHP Corvette and love it, just one word of caution they do stall somewhat higher then advertised.
Somewhere around 300 RPM higher, I would also advise to get the triple disc over the single.
Freeway driving you'll never know it's there until you unlock it then

 

Thanks for the replies.

 

Yank makes a tripple disc, I am not sure about ATI. I didn't see mention of one in the catalog.

 

ATI makes single, triple, and 5 plate converters.

 

You'll LOVE your car with a stall !! I made an error with my 1st choice--
I wanted to keep a STOCK diameter convertor--The highest you can go with a stock diam. is about 2600. But it is only a re-worked STOCK one
Thats whay they are so cheap--They simply bend the vanes to loosen it up--But it's so big and heavy that they can't handle anything much more than STOCK HP ( my car has 400 RWHP)
So the lesson I learned was that you can't go "cheap" on converter selection-You should go with a whole new smaller diameter converter case--
I love my 3000 Phoenix Transmission stall--- be prepared to spend anywhere from $500- $900---
You also asked about problems---with a stall---I would highly recc a tune--even just a mail order to have it tuned for the stall
Typically stalls create "false misfires" so you need to fix the misfire tables
You should have them set the TCC lock up PWM to 99/99
You should delete the TQ mangement
Sometimes you have to alter the "shift at WOT" tables up and down otherwise the ECM will skip over the shift and hit the safety rev limiter
You may get some "false slipping" codes which are normal and will have to set those codes to "not reported" and "no mill"
PS: i wouls absolutely reccomend the addtio of an extra fluid cooler-The stacked plate design rather than the cheaper "tube and fin"
