Torque Converter High Stall Converters Race
Torque Converters for Automatic Transmissions
Torque converters are one of the most critical components in getting maximum
performance out of an automatic transmission equipped vehicle. This holds true whether you
have a restored muscle car, stock street vehicle, hot street strip car, hot rod, street
rod or all out race car. The right stall speed torque converter for your
exact application will insure maximum performance and long trouble free service. There are
many cheap, low quality torque converters on the market as unscrupulous sellers know that
from the outside the buyer can not tell what is really inside the outer case that you see
when looking at a torque converter. We offer high quality JW Performance Transmissions torque

Characteristics of a High Quality Torque
Converter
A quality torque converter, whether it be for towing, muscle car restoration, high
performance, or an all out race converter, requires more than just a high stall speed. A
high stall converter can improve performance, but of equal importance are
efficiency, torque multiplication and durability. Efficiency relates to how well the
torque converter transfers the engine power, with minimum loss. This is one area where
"cheap" converters really hurt as they often exhibit poor efficiency and
slippage, especially under high loads at higher speeds. The JW Performance Torque
converters are some of the most efficient on the market, and one of the reasons
we use them in our own drag race cars.

Torque multiplication is another area where a high
quality converter really shines compared to a "budget" converter. A quality
converter will actually multiply torque, improving acceleration. Durability is another
must have factor in a performance torque converter. The high output levels of modern
engines, combined with transmission brakes, nitrous, etc. require a strong case and all
high quality internal components. Beware of the many budget converters on the market. This
is certainly one area where you do really gain by spending a little more for a high
quality product. It is easy to have a cheap converter lead the custom to believe he has a
high stall speed, simply by making the converter "slip, which makes the tach read
higher, but the car generally does not accelerate any better then the stock converter did.
A top of the line converter like the JW, however combines the proper stall speed, with
high torque multiplication and high efficiency to give you the best all around
performance, whether on the highway, or blasting down the drag strip.
