Stall Convertor recommendation

[Ltnstrk]

Hey guys Im thinking about getting a stall for my truck but I dont know who to get it from. There is JDM, LFP, and JLP. I have done business with both JDM and JLP and like both of their products but I have no idea about their stall convertors.Im thinking about the 2400 stall or should I go for a 2600. Thanks for all your help.

i've been contemplating this also. its between the convertor and nitrous. from what i've read, i would not go with anything under a 2600. i've read that it still has great street manners with a 2600.

JLP uses a PI converter... not sure about JDM. but ive heard nothing but good about the PI converters along with then Factory tech ones also

I have one of these and it rocks!

2400 PI. cant go wrong, especially if your running a KB.

Would a 2800 or 3000 or even higher be to much for say a 400hp L

Im running a 2400 and I Drive mine everyday could not be happier with the way it has performed. If I would of bought it I may have went to a 2600 but was allready in the truck when I bought it.

I have a torquo (i dont know if I spelled it right) 3500 stall on a daily driven for about 2 years and it rocks!!! over 500 hp too! and all for $399. shipped

did you order straight from torquo? and are you at 500 on the stock block?

 

[Screaming01L]

Our trucks are for the most part, all grunt. Gobs of torque. They really can pile it on low end.

LFP carries the Art Carr billet 13" triple clutch......................$499.00
Or the PI 10" triple clutch ...................................................$945.00

Both great product. Both get the job done. The larger clutch surface on the Art Carr means no clutch " chatter ". For daily driving and great street manners a 2400 stall is all you need.

so in 1/4 mile times, would you see more difference with a stall or a 50 shot? and are both converters pretty much the same? im wondering because of the price difference. thanks :beer:

 

[Mark@LFP]

Depends on what you have done to your L...ie pulley, tune, gears..etc. A 2400 stall should yield 1/2 tenths. Without risking engine damage on a stock bottom end, which is more likely when running pullies and NOS.
I offer PI and Art Carr. I sell more of the 13" billet Art Carr than PI. Both are good. Both will get the job done. With the smaller clutches the PI tends to rattle. Price difference is due to an arrangement that LFP made with Art Carr several years ago.

thats also more rotaional mass and more rotaion mass off the rotaion axi.... which leads to less HP. minimal but its there

 

[Mark@LFP]

Good point. No data to backup that 3" of more clutch material will reduce the HP to the wheels but it is a good point. The extra surface area has been proven to eliminate the rattle. Either way we can serve you either T/C.

 

[auyon]

no, its built block , I took it out about 2 years ago and rebuilt everything, manleys, cps, monsterbox, KB, ect. I use it everyday as a truck, and its still going. as good as the first day i put it together.

its a proven fact. that more weight further away from the axis will require more power to turn. how much some times isnt worth the extra cost.

 

[Mark@LFP]

I understand the theory of less rotating weight. The extra 3" of raybestos clutch material hasn't been weighted. The difference is in the ounces not lbs. I do not believe the difference is measureable on a dyno or realized at the track.

The addition of a T/C into the performance puzzle is one way to improve your 1/4 without adding more boost, NOS etc.
Those that are maxed out with a stock bottom end or a built bottom end would do well to add a torque converter. The tranny is usually overlooked in our quest to be quick(er) .so are the gear ratio.
If the bottom end is built I would be doing both a T/C and a shot of NOS.
P.I. and Art Carr are available no matter which way go.
