Converter and input shaft

smokedout250 · Apr 17, 2013

Looking into a converter and and input shaft. I'm looking for a good solid lock up. Input shaft needs to be billet.... What brands do you recommend??? What stall? Also what hp can a stock trans handle with after market convert handle?

i would go with an 6.4 RCD converter best converter out there i believe, amd stock stall is 1800 so up to u depending on what your looking to do, also RCD's im put shaft is a great choice or a suncoast, im sure jared will hook u up nd send u in the right direction

precision converter with a tcs input shaft. I could be wrong but I bet the rcd shaft is a tcs shaft.

I am running a Circle D converter from Houston Tx. The guy makes converters for funny cars, and other high hp dragster. Hasn't missed a beat yet with the twins.

No need to do a 6.4 converter and waste the time switching the flex plate. The RCD converters use both the 6 and 8 stud count, they are made my Precision Industries.

What turbo? i'd go up in stall with a non vgt charger, 2000-2200 stall will work nicely, I think that is a sweet spot for the 6.0. BTS offers a similar converter to the RCD.

As of right now a power max turbo. The future plans (if my wedding doesn't cost to much) is to go either 190-205s 366. Eventually a built trans but I would like to see how long the stock will go for

I wouldnt bother doing a converter now unless you need it, even then I'd say swap in a new stocker for $300, I say this because when your clutches give up the ghost, the converter will feel the wrath too. A higher stall charger wont cope too well with the vgt, from what i've seen, usually they perform beter with a lower stall.

I really haven't settled on my future setup I could save money and have my turbo machines to a 68mm by rcd and 190s would get me to 600 which is my goal....

I also should add my stock converter is in great shape my whole trans has never been to 180* that's even towing and on the strip... Just trying to make sure the power is making it to the ground

I am in the process of pulling my trans, and all the research ive done leads me to believe that the precision industries "stallion" converter is the way to go. But thats not to say that suncoast, river city or anybody else's is junk by any means. Good luck in your search, i dont have much to add, just wanted to tell you what i had found in research.
