Pro torque converters for C5. How are they?
Vette Doctors recently told me that they could get me a Pro Torque w/3500 stall for around $650. How reliable are they compared to vigs and yanks? Does anyone in the forum have one in their setup? How is the drivability? I have heard of some horror stories so I want to be sure that it is not going to fry my trans, thanks :cool:

The Vette Drs. installed my PT 2400 2 years ago. Never had a problem and they are great to deal with. I have not driven in a car with that converter, but I am sure they know what they are doing.

Hi" (Mark b) welcome to the forum. :cheers: I had the PT 2800 and it was a killer of the line. My best 60ft was 1.68 and thats launching very hard. I had 3.15 gears at that time and they were a little lose. 3.42 or 3.73" would work great with the 3500 stall. :thumbs: :iagree: :hurray: :hurray:

if you have the x-tra cash go ahead and get one of the new ss t/c's from yank ss 3600 or ss 3800 or later you will find yourself swapping t/c's down the road. do it once the right way. :yesnod:

Mark the PT3500 is a great unit, Joe used my car as one of the prototypes for it and it works super. You will have the best of both worlds, race and street..go for it !

i'm running a PT2900 and 3.42's. It blows up my runflats. I need to get some good grip to take advantage of the hit at the line at the track. its hella fun though to blow up some smoke :lol:
