Torque Converter Question

RE: Torque Converter Question
thats exactly what i did. I've worked with TCI on other race cars so I truct they would point me in the right direction. Most of the failures are from the lockup clutches. Guys tend to get aggressive with the lockup schedules...guilty also...and that leads to a short life for them. also they usually can't handle more than 200-300ft.lbs. so bringing in the lockup too soon will surely fry them quickly especially with any type of power adder making loads of torque. If you are planing on going the high HP route then you will be money ahead by using a PI multi disc converter or something of that sorts(especially if you are going to be aggressive with lockups and race the thing a bunch.
also contact doug at b.a.m.a.c.h.i.p.s. he will give you a tune that will make your car scream with that new converter.

And another twist. I changed my lock-up schedule with the stock unit. I can nose stand at around 3400rpm now with the stock unit. However it absolutley does not hit as hard as a converter designed to stall at 3400RPM and I got enough slipping durring normal driving to worry me. So I now only use the higher RPM lock-up when racing due to after launch I am above the lock-up RPM for the rest of the run.

I just had the TCI 3000 stall installed today and wow what a difference. From 3000 on it just pulls like crazy. I highly recommend this mod to anyone with the auto tranny. My only regret is not doing this before the SC was installed. From a 20-30 roll it just goes nuts so I guess suspension and tires are next for me. I did go with the TCI so I will post if I run into any issues but right now I really like it. Thanks!

RE: Torque Converter Question
I am also thinking of going this route soon.Do you need a re-tune to run the converter? I am using a B A M A tune right now and will the car still run good with out a special tune for the converter?
