    Anyone heard of Allen Superchargers

    The babies are both doing great. My daughter is all daddy's girl and my son is really starting to be fun as well. Both were born slightly before the last 2 shootouts. Allen has a different market. Everyone supports mustangs. Allen supported the t-bird,crown vics and town cars better. Bill has...

    Torque Converter Question

    I thought we had decided terms of leave me alone and I'll leave you alone, yet you continue this crap. It's seriously time to move on and quit threatening me with the lawsuits over crap you start. I have been polite in my comments. You continue to be you. Are you ever going to get a life? Or...

    Tork Tech s/c for 2v's

    The blower they use is what makes the kit worth the money. I am very familiar with the company. They are great guys to work with, just not cheap. Alan

    Torque Converter Question

    From what I have seen some headers work well with auto's and others don't. Kooks seem to fit better than anything and are the best I have seen. Most people don't want to spend that kind of money however. Transmission coolers I generally have 2 different suggestions. 1. the Hayden 679, can be...

    converter needs to be restalled?

    What is the converter? It could be a sign of a bad converter clutch or a slipping roller clutch in the converter. Alan

    Torque converter recommendations

    I daily drive a 4200 stall on a 4000lb car with no issues. A proper lockup schedule is key. Modular engines especially require stall. Anyone saying 2500 stall on a mod motor doesn't have a clue as the stock converter stalled that. I build converters and generally suggest at least 3200 in a...

    Torque Converter is on its way out?

    You'll find the edge design makes PI look bulletproof. The whole kit they use is just trash in the opinion of most of the industry. Their warranty has proven to be crap as well. 2 years ago edge was all you heard about on corral, now you hear about them but it isn't good. That aode can...

    torque converter flush

    Don't flush a lockup converter. I wouldn't even bother with that thing you can replace it for less than $100 the a4ld converters had their fair share of problems. Alan

    Headers & Torque Converters......

    $600-$1000 would be an acceptable price for a serious race unit. You should be able to get a very nice c4 converter for $400-$500 bucks built to handle anythign a street car can throw at it. Thats how summit makes money at it. TCI and B&M sells them some $250 units they turn around and sell for...

    Headers & Torque Converters......

    I wouldn't Pee on a TCI or a B&M. Both cheap crap built for nothing out of nothing to sell to summit for nothing. Alan

    Nitrous cracking a stall converter?!

    If the converter cracked something was wrong with it. The nitrous might destroy the lockup clutch or one way clutch, but it should not crack the cover. Could be a fluke bad cover. Or the lockup clutch could have been fried rubbing metal to metal eating the cover thin. How much metal is in the...

    Headers & Torque Converters......

    I generally disagree with these (buy edge converters) threads but I have to say what they build for a c4 works well. I buy parts from the same place as them and have no problems with those parts. Just make sure you get the billet one. I would suggest a #6 pump and an 082 stator it will be...

    torque converter vacation

    If you did that much damage to the converter it is highly likely your transmission is severely contaminated as well as your transmission cooler. The converters Edge build for these lockup transmissions is sorry to say the least. You really need to investigate the product. Don't just listen to...

    What torque converter do you run????

    I figured I'd let this thread go for a while and see what else was said. I keep seeing edge racing converters bragged about. Anybody got valid slippage information from any of them locked up at WOT? Facts are it's a stock cavalier lockup piston. It measures less then 9 inches in diameter and...

    TOURQUE CONVERTER UPGRADE

    IMO 3000 stall isn't worth the money. I custom built a 9 inch 3800 stall for modular depot's 05 and it was perfect. I'm not a huge fan of the 9.5 converters PI and all the other companies use. Especially in these applications. The sure fix is coming, but I don't know how long it will be yet. Alan

    Dyno Experts, Please Help Me With Dyno Graph!

    Did the manufacturer say if the lockup piston was billet as well or stock? That could be a huge variable but I really think the issue will be located in your tune. Alan

    Dyno Experts, Please Help Me With Dyno Graph!

    I highly doubt the converter clutch would start slipping at that rpm and then catch back up. If it were converter clutch slippage caused by the converter it would never catch back up at higher rpms. Maybe it is unlocking and the hydraulics of the converter are catching up with it. You need to...
