N/A converter?

I plan on goin with a stage 2 or stage three N/A cam for my car and I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a torque converter for the application. I want to try and keep the cars driveabilty as much as possible so I'm looking for a "tight" converter. Any reccomendations?

The Jannetty / Pro Torque converter is very tight. You won't notice its in the car at all. Zero slippage on the street. Plus you won't need and type of aftermarket cooler. The trans temp stays the same as stock with this converter. Give Ted a call. He'll be able to spec one out to the cam you want to use.

I would recommend one with a stage 2 and especially stage 3 cam as it will try to push you through the lights with the stocker!

You would definitely benefit from a good converter.

I've got a Circle D 3200 stall in mine... I would recommend Pro Torque, Yank and Circle D and if you're going with Stage 2/3 nothing less than 3200 stall.

Thanks for the info I'm leaning toward yank 3200 but I have to look into circle d and pro torque more.

circle d 3600

n/a motors don't like "tight" converters
