Yes it's a small converter and it's LIGHT! Too, my Dart will mostly be street driven more than track driven. I had ordered the 9.5" initially and then I said screw it, I want the fastest converter I can put in it that will still be ok on the street. Only gonna do this once so figured why not. It's only money right? Lol. Only gonna run a couple hundred rpm higher on the highway over the 9.5", it will be faster in the quarter, it's not going to act any different putting around town than any other high stall converter except when you mash it, trans temps might be a little higher but have a trans oil cooler and a finned cast aluminum deep pan that should take care of that. So I was kinda like why not. I have a buddy who had a Nova that was quite literally the Chevy version of my build. He ran an 8" 5500 stall and he said it acted no different around town than the 3000 stall he had in it. He drove it to the track and back home and no issues all the time. He said the trans oil temps NEVER got hot even in the midst of summer. I've even been told the exact same thing from the converter companies when I talked to them and their experiences with 8" converters on the street. Can't hardly tell the difference between a 10" and an 8" except when you put the pedal down. Here's mine
