FTI 9.5in 8L90E Billet Triple Disc Lock-Up Street Racer Series - 3200 Stall

This FTI Performance 9.5-inch Billet Triple Disc Lock-Up Street Racer Series Torque Converter is designed for 8L90E transmissions, offering a 3200 RPM stall speed. What you get in this package is the torque converter itself, built with a solid billet aluminum cover for strength and durability. It also features furnace brazing and TIG welding for robust internal construction, along with triple Torrington bearings to handle increased loads. This converter is a popular choice for those looking to improve the performance of their GM trucks and cars, such as the Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Cadillac CTS.

The billet cover is a key component here, providing a strong foundation that resists flexing under high torque loads, which is crucial for performance applications. Furnace brazing ensures that the fins are securely bonded to the cover and turbine, preventing separation and maintaining efficiency. TIG welding adds further reinforcement to critical joints, ensuring the converter can withstand the demands of spirited driving and racing. The inclusion of triple Torrington bearings is notable, as they offer smoother operation and better load distribution compared to standard bearings, contributing to both performance and longevity.

This torque converter is intended for performance builds where a higher stall speed is desired for quicker launches off the line. The 3200 RPM stall speed means the engine can rev higher before the torque converter fully couples and transfers power to the transmission, allowing for better acceleration from a standstill. It's important to note that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
