What is a torque converter stall speed and why does it matter?

The stall speed is the RPM at which the torque converter begins to effectively transfer engine power to the transmission. A higher stall speed, like the 3600 RPM on this converter, allows the engine to rev higher before engaging, which is beneficial for launching quickly, especially with modified engines that produce power at higher RPMs.

What is the benefit of a lock-up torque converter for street use?

A lock-up torque converter has a clutch that creates a direct mechanical link between the engine and transmission at cruising speeds. This reduces slippage, which improves fuel economy and lowers transmission temperatures, making it more suitable for everyday driving compared to non-lock-up converters.

Product Details

If you're looking to get more out of your transmission for street performance or weekend racing, a torque converter like this FTI Performance Economy Lock-Up Street Racer Series unit can make a big difference. This converter is specifically built for 700R4 and early 4L60 transmissions, featuring a 30-spline input and a 9.5-inch diameter. It's designed to provide a 3600 RPM stall speed, meaning the engine can reach that RPM before the converter fully couples and starts transferring power to the transmission. This is ideal for applications where you want a strong launch off the line, especially with modified engines that make power higher up in the RPM range.

FTI Performance has a reputation for building well-built converters, and this Street Racer Series is no exception. It's constructed with durability in mind for performance use, aiming to handle the increased demands of spirited driving and racing. The lock-up feature is important for street use, as it allows for a direct mechanical connection at cruising speeds, which improves fuel efficiency and reduces heat buildup compared to non-lock-up converters. This particular model is designed for a 3600 RPM stall, giving you that aggressive launch you're looking for when the light turns green.

This torque converter fits a wide range of vehicles, including popular models like the Chevrolet Camaro, Corvette, and Caprice, as well as many GM trucks and full-size cars from the 1980s and early 1990s. When installing, ensure you follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper filling and seating to ensure optimal performance and longevity. It's a solid option for anyone looking to upgrade their transmission's performance for more aggressive driving scenarios.
