FTI 9.5in Ford AOD Street Racer Series Converters - Sprague Type - 3600 Hard Hit Stall - Non Lock-Up

When you open the box for this FTI Performance Street Racer Series torque converter, you're getting a well-built unit ready to handle serious power. This converter is specifically designed for Ford AOD transmissions, featuring a 9.5-inch diameter and a Sprague-type design for robust engagement. It's built for a 3600 RPM stall speed, meaning it's tuned to let your engine rev up to that point before the converter fully couples and sends power to the drivetrain, giving you that hard-hitting launch you're looking for. This is a non-lock-up converter, which is common in performance applications where maximum torque multiplication at lower speeds is prioritized over fuel efficiency at cruising speeds.

The Street Racer Series is FTI's answer for drivers who want a noticeable performance improvement without going to an extreme setup. The 3600 stall speed is a popular choice for street/strip vehicles, offering a good balance between off-the-line acceleration and drivability. FTI uses solid construction techniques to ensure this converter can withstand the demands of spirited driving and occasional track use. While it's not designed for highway cruising efficiency due to its non-lock-up nature, its strength lies in its ability to transfer power effectively during acceleration events.

Keep in mind that this converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California. It's a performance part intended for off-road or racing use where emissions regulations may differ. If you're building a Ford AOD for performance, this converter is a solid option to consider for improved launch characteristics and a more aggressive feel.
