Another Dirty Dog converter lol. This time direct from THEM, stalled to ironically, what my sig says or thereabouts. I was probably wasting torque in fact with a 3000 RPM stall, which is what the secondhand one I had turned out to do in my car. But this is a lightER 9.5" non-lockup that is reinforced and can withstand the 6200 redline of a 5.0. And there was evidence of ballooning on the other one, the flexplate bolt heads can be seen imprinted on the converter face slightly. That's really the only reason I bought this thing. $550 for 700 rpm, safely with no shrapnel. I guess it's worth it LMAO

That's why I bought a Precision Industries Billet 9.5" Stallion non-lockup converter. It has a billet front plate so I'm pretty sure that my engine doesn't make enough power to balloon it :hick:. I do know that with the 2800 stall it will blow the tires off at will :burnout:. You should have fun with the new converter.

It's not even the power it's just the speed. So DD says anyway. Apparently a non-billet one is good for 5500 rpm, that's it. I guess now it all makes sense, the low-rev gonvernors, useless shift points...not that the basic 5.0 makes more than 20 hp up there anyhow :hick:

You could probably spin the engine past 5500 rpm but I'm pretty sure that it will be past making peak power by that point

. The other nice thing about a non-lockup is the one piece input shaft. You won't have to worry about snapping the 3-4 shaft with a non-lockup.
