FTI 9.5in 6L80E Billet Triple Disc Lock-Up Street Racer Series - 06-13 Corvette - 3000 Stall

The billet cover on this FTI Performance torque converter is machined from a solid block of aluminum, giving it a strong foundation for high-performance applications. This 9.5-inch unit is built for the 6L80E transmission found in the 2006-2013 Chevrolet Corvette, and it's set up with a 3000 RPM stall speed, meaning the engine will rev to about 3000 RPM before the converter fully locks up and transfers power directly to the transmission. This setup is ideal for street racing and weekend track days, offering a noticeable improvement in acceleration off the line.

FTI Performance builds these converters with a focus on reliability. The furnace brazing process ensures that the fins are securely bonded to the mounting surfaces, preventing separation under stress. For added durability and smoother operation, this converter uses triple Torrington bearings, which handle rotational forces efficiently. The TIG welding throughout the assembly further reinforces its robust construction, making it well-suited for the demands of a performance-oriented Corvette. This is a lock-up style converter, which means it can mechanically couple the engine to the transmission at cruising speeds, reducing parasitic drag and improving fuel economy compared to non-lock-up designs.

When installing this torque converter, remember that it's designed as a direct replacement for your stock unit, but it's crucial to ensure the transmission pump pickup is properly seated in the converter snout before bolting the flexplate to the converter. This step is vital to prevent damage to the transmission pump. Also, note that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
