Torque converters are one of the most important purchases you make when building a hot rod. The converter harness's all the motors horse power and puts it to the back wheels. Selecting the proper one for your project is critical. Size & stall are determined by horse power, weight, power adders, and class you want to race in.
We build our converters based on the combined information that the racer provides us with," no two builds are exactly alike", The more accurate the info? The more accurately the converter is set up.
I myself have been in the high performance transmission & converter business for over 35 years, I have been drag racing for the same amount of time, chasing points in cars and a couple of seasons on a motorcycle. My first trip to a drag strip was back in 1973 ! My brother Lenny (Ultimate Converter Concepts) brought me with him and his partner Stu Dupee to Lebanon Valley or Island Dragway, I do not recall, to race their A/SA mopar...the Yankee Wedge, It was an aluminum nose factory race car from 1963. From there on....I was hooked. I live , eat , sleep , and dream Drag Racing !!!
This brings us to today.... You can rest assured that TOP GUN converters are built with years of experience and drag racing knowledge in every one we build. It is one less thing you need to worry about when you stage your race car, our converters are built for performance & longevity....
