Looking for info on the 440 4BBL Torque Converters

Rusty is correct. He was giving me tips on my recent build and recommended a 3000-3500 stall converter. All I could remember from 35 years ago is the engine revving to 3500 every time you wanted to move the car. My car is 99% street and I wanted it to be fun to drive.

When talking to PTC, they assured me it would have good street manners. I was still skeptical but I also realize technology has come a long way. So I went for it. I gave them all the details of my build.

I'm very happy with the converter. I was out driving yesterday and it's flashing to 3200. But driving normally around town you wouldn't know it wasn't stock. The car is fun to drive because it has the best of both worlds.

Absolutely, converters are the least acknowledged part going into ur car/truck etc. Nothing more disappointing than having an underperforming car. Kim

I was interested in hearing what PTC had to offer, but all they did was send me a reply saying they had a TC for my set up. I e-mailed them back asking for more info and have never heard anything more from them.
 
Like Rusty says old technology from the 80s. I can tell u right now u will be disappointed with it. It doesn’t have enough stall for ur cam and it’s torque multiplication sucks. When ur car is overheating u will blame everything else. It will be the converter because of its inefficiency. I have been around 10 of these converters and not 1 was any dam good. I do not recommend them at all. These are my experience with them. Yours may vary. Kim
What would be the "ideal stall range" for my set up? I have ordered the parts, but they can be returned.
 
Dang. I think I did the spec sheet on a weekend and I called on the Monday after. Call on Monday and ask to speak with Tim or Tommy. Tommy was a very matter of fact guy, not a salesy type of guy. Kenny, the owner, was also like that. Not rude, just to the point.

I had a slight issue after I got my converter from them. I called and talked through it with Kenny and it turned out for the best in the long term.

For something as expensive and important you really should pick up the phone.
