Default need Converter Recommendation
I need to make a quick decision on a converter supplier for my '12 A6 Grand Sport. Car did 736 RWHP and will be primarily a bracket drag car. The rear gears will be 2.93. I want a tight converter with no more than 3000 RPM stall. I would appreciate Forum recommendations.

As long as you're calling converter suppliers, you might as well call Yank too.

Be happy to help... for a power adder 6L80 we suggest a multi disk. If you can send us an "Ask Circle D" form from our site we can help spec you one.

There are two viable options in TC's for A6 cars, both have been mentioned.

Contact Circle D or Yank
