Torque Converter or Bassani Headers

[rreinicherr]

I have a QC and was wondering which mod would give me the most RWHP and low end Torque. I have heard a good Torque converter makes a big difference. If I get a TC I will add the 727DD deep tranny pan also. I already have a updraded Valve Body.

Any advise and wisdom greatly appreciated!

Get both.

 

[rreinicherr]

Can't afford both right now unfortunately.

Then get the headers. A high stall converter makes alot of heat, and trannys don't like heat. Drivability on the streat sucks if you get to high a stall.

 

[rreinicherr]

Can't you get a lower stall that is closer to stock?
1900 RPM?

Whats the point of getting one so close to stock?

With your present mods, bissani's are gonna make you the most power for the $

actually I would get the bellangers Roe has, they will make more power for the $ for ya.

Your really not making enuff power yet for a convertor to really benifit you that much. Save it for later

Less weight and more power to the ground. More efficient shifts and overall operation. Tranny temps will also be lower. I read some place it is like adding 30 HP????

Thanks Stinker! :rock:

No, the higher the stall the less you feel the shift. Your tranny will get hotter with a higher stall. High stalls don't work good on heavy vehicles.

As sleeper said;
Trans temps are generally higher with a higher stall converter.

The reason to use a higher stall converter is to get the engine into the power band. A converter does not make any more HP in itself, it is just a way of transmitting available power.

The Bassani's will give you a bunch of torque which is necessary to get a heavy vehicle "launched".

Go with the Bassani's.......................:rock:

I am still learning. Thanks for all the points. You just saved me from making a mistake in my progress.

How does everyone like the 727DD Mag Hytec tranny pan. Does that help temps enough to buy?

Keep the advice coming! :rock:

Wouldnt hurt and at the same time have ya bands adjusted

Actually, I've found that I've lost power (at least on the dyno) every time I added a high stall TC. (3 different cars/trucks)
