FTI 9.5in Ford AOD Street Racer Series Converters - 4000 Hard Hit Stall - Non Lock-Up Conversion

If you're building a Ford AOD transmission for serious street performance, a high-stall torque converter is a critical component. This FTI Performance Street Racer Series converter is designed to help you get the most out of your setup, especially when you're looking for that hard hit off the line. It features a 4000 RPM stall speed, meaning the engine can rev up to 4000 RPM before the converter fully couples and starts transferring power to the transmission. This is ideal for applications with significant engine modifications, like a healthy camshaft and upgraded cylinder heads, where you need the engine to reach its power band quickly.

This converter is a non-lock-up design, which is common in many performance builds where the added efficiency of a lock-up clutch isn't the primary concern. Instead, the focus is on maximizing torque multiplication and providing a consistent, aggressive launch. FTI Performance builds these converters with a 9.5-inch diameter, a size that balances efficient torque transfer with a relatively compact package. The internal components are well-built to handle the demands of higher horsepower and torque, ensuring reliable performance when you put your foot down. It's important to note that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.

When installing this torque converter, ensure your AOD transmission is in good working order and that you have the necessary tools and knowledge for proper installation. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding fluid levels and mating the converter to the flexplate. This converter is a solid option for enthusiasts looking to improve their vehicle's acceleration and overall performance feel from a standstill.
