Torque converter size

Do a search man, you will find "call a quality torque converter manufacturer and ask them" Every time. This question is boring.

www.gopnh.com makes quality stock style converters, 166k and 175k 1900-2100 and 2250-2250RPM respectively, stall included.

What I meant was here we go again, blaming the convertor for what very well could be a tune problem. I may be way off base but even with a damn near all out set on kill motor dropping it in gear and having it crap out due to the convertor being tight is just not going to happen. Years ago I helped a guy with his track car. Motor was a 875 hp 377 SBC. With it's 15:1 CR it would easily idle below 1000 rpm. We were drunk one night and were wondering if the car would even be able to be put in gear with a stock convertor....much to our surprise after a bit of late night wrenching the car could be dropped in gear and have no problem idling....Moral of the story....if an 875 hp motor can idle in gear with a stock "tight" convertor a very mild small block with a cam in it can as well.....
