Torque Converters...Which one??

[japslpr]

Well, I gotta replace my Torque Converter....again. And I'm wanting some opinions on which one to use. 245mm or 258mm? Any advantages or disadvantages? Looking to go with 2750 - 3000 stall.

Id check with Trannyman, I know he is carrying some now and he would point you in the best direction as to what would be best.

3000 stall is plenty, also what a stock converter will stall to. With your setup you have the potential to lay down some pretty healthy numbers and an aftermarket converter may be the safest option-though you havent had the best luck . My converters are $574.95 and are custom built to match your combo, have a 2 year warranty, and one free stall change.

2 of my previous converters have been 245mm converters from Transtar. I had a 2200(FDKB)B-21-5W and a 2800(FKBB) B-21-8W. Please see attachment for what I am talking about.

The latest converter I have which is in the car now is a 245mm Pro Torque I think. It is Green and has TCC 350 marked on it. I believe this is a 3500stall.

So should I use a 258mm converter instead of the 245mm? It states that the 245mm's I have been using from transtar are Woven Graphite material.

If I go 258mm, should I use the JTFM(stock) or the JXFM which I think you said was in the new 5.3GXP V8 models. I can't afford 575.00 for a converter right now.

Thanks

The JXFM is the highest stall option for the 258mm converters. I prefer using them as they have a slightly larger lockup clutch surface than the 245mm converters and also seem to be a little tigher on the top end. I have run lots of 258mm converters in cars down into the low 12s and never had one fail

I'm shooting for the high 11's with this car. 11.9-11.8 Will the JXFM hold up for those times?
