I was supposed to pick up the '93 from the shop Saturday where it has been undergoing a torque converter transplant. I am getting the stock converter replaced with a 3500 rpm stall speed PI Stallion Triple Disc Lockup torque converter.
The shop has had it all week, didn't start on it until Friday(supposedly) and couldn't get it finished Saturday(1/2 day). Turns out it won't be ready 'til Monday.
Now, my schedule won't allow me to pick it up until Tuesday evening or later in the week.
I miss my car. ;(
So, I've been bench racing! }(
I've done a lot of reading and have compiled the following quotes establishing the drop in ETs with a high stall converter...
Your 0-60 and 1/4 mile performance times can be reduced by as much as 2 to 3 tenths!
Dropped two tenths with a TC...
We installed a Precision Industries converter that stalled to 3200 rpm and the results were encouraging. With no other changes, the car picked up almost a full 3 tenths...
In conclusion, the net yields include a 60-foot improvement of 0.34 and a quarter-mile betterment of 0.225 seconds.
...converter easily is worth 3 tenths of a second
The car picked up about 4 tenths.
...will drop 1/4 mile times at least 5 tenths of a second!
I have seen as much as 5 tenths of a second improvement in 60 foot times just by going from a factory torque converter to the Precision Industries torque converter.
His trap speed of 116 marked a 4-mph improvement over the stock converter, and the car picked up almost six tenths, as well.
The standard performance gain reported is 2 tenths on 60 foot times and up to 3/4 of a second on overall elapsed times in the 1/4 mile. The torque multiplication on the 9.5-inch series is 2.53 to 1 compared to stock at 1.93 to 1. The torque multiplication of the converter will deliver an increase of up to 50 horsepower to the rear wheels.
So now the ultimate question... where will my(eventual) review fit in the above range of 2 tenths to 3/4 of a second? ::roll::
