Aftermarket torque converter users
2015 Z51 - cold air intake, MSD manifold, ported throttle body & headers.
I want to replace the torque converter.
What manufacturers have you used and how do you like them?
What stall speeds are you using and how do like it - want more or less?
What improvement in 60' and e.t. did you experience?
I have a C5 with a built motor, 4.10 gears and a 4100 stall converter that was my daily driver so I am used to a high stall on the street.
What does the C7 factory converter stall?

Like Robert stated... Circle D was on top of the C7 from the start and it looks like still are ahead of the rest. Next mod looks like a Circle D for me

We have a 2015 z51 with our 258mm 3D combo in it. The car is going to have a centrifugal blower but it is completely stock right now, other than converter. It drives great at part throttle. In fact, it drives well with stock tune, in manual mode. Preliminary results.. can foot brake over 2K rpm without launch control, still stock tune. Being a 258mm it is "tight" for a NA application.
We also have our 245mm. If you are planning to stay NA, this core will work great! It is a bit more aggressive being that it is smaller in diameter. Will be able to foot brake closer to 3000 rpm, or higher, with the 245mm. The 245mm is used in the quickest/fastest NA combos.
