FTI 9.5in Ford C6 Street Racer Series Converters - Sprague Type - 1.848in Pilot - 2800 Stall

This is the FTI Performance 9.5-inch Street Racer Series torque converter, specifically built for Ford C6 transmissions. It's designed with a Sprague-type lock-up mechanism and features a 1.848-inch pilot, aiming for a 2800 RPM stall speed. If you're building a street/strip Ford with a C6 transmission and want a converter that can handle more power and provide a solid launch, this is a well-built option to consider.

FTI Performance builds these converters with performance in mind. The 9.5-inch diameter is a popular size for street-driven vehicles that see track time, offering a good balance between efficiency and a strong launch. The Sprague-type lock-up is a key feature here, providing a more direct connection when locked, which can improve fuel economy on the highway and reduce heat buildup during cruising compared to non-lock-up units. The 2800 stall speed is chosen to complement moderate performance camshafts and rear-end gear ratios, allowing the engine to reach its power band quickly off the line. The 1.848-inch pilot ensures proper engagement with the crankshaft snout.

When installing a torque converter, it's crucial to ensure it's fully seated against the transmission pump before bolting it to the flexplate. You should feel it engage the pump splines and then pull away slightly as it seats. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications. This converter is not CARB approved and cannot be shipped to California.
