We rate our HP Series converter to handle about 550whp, and our Pro Series units (depending on diameter) are efficient up to around the 1000whp range.

High altitude makes sense. I would go with our 245mm 5C like IneedAZ was running. Should do the trick. You have your choice of single disk or triple disk lockup. Did you have a preference there?

A 4000 stall converter will make a huge difference and bring you really close to being in the 12 second e.t range. That said, given your modifications, it seems a bit radical. Is this a daily driver,...

I agree with the above comments. Something in the low 3k range might be good with the stock cam. Our 2C would flash around 32-3400 rpm and get you solidly into the 12's at the drags while retaining...

That bold portion looks like it could have come from our website...The 298mm converter is used on 700r4's and early model 4l60's. What are the specs on this vehicle?
