Wowwwwwww.
 

It's been a loooooooong f'ing time since I've posted on this board....

I need some advice, though. I currently have a TCI Breakaway stall converter and I see about a 2000-2200 rpm stall speed with slicks with my current mods. I definitely need another 1000 rpm of stall but I can't decide whether to go with the TCI Streetfighter or the TCI Super Streetfighter.

TCI advertises stall speeds of 2200-2400 for the Breakaway, 3000-3400 for the Streetfighter, and 3500-3800 for the Super Streetfighter. The reason why I think I should go with the Streetfighter is because the bottom end of my engine is 100% stock. I put the 6000 rpm plug in the MSD 6AL box for that reason. I don't think it's very safe to have that thing much above 6000 rpm. The thing is that I need to get AT LEAST a 3000-3200 stall speed. I'll be IRATE if it's anything below that...even 2900 rpm.

Does anyone have any experience with these converters? What kind of stall speeds are you getting with them?

TIA.

I would suggest a custom PTC converter. That's what I've got in my car and I love it.

Just call and ask to speak with Kenney Ford....he'll get you what you need.

I had to go from a TCI Breakaway to the TCI Streetfighter when I changed cam and intake. I do have a 6500 rpm module limiter and try to shift at 6000. My tach may read 200 too low, so I'm probably really shifting at 6200. Bottom end on mine is stock with Pioneer rod bolts and forged TRW pistons. Doesn't seem to hurt anythig at that rpm. The Streetfighter seems about right for my application and does stall right about 3000 rpm.

I had a streetfighter behind my 428 and it only stalled at 2700. I went to the super street fighter and now it stalls at 3500. That is with a c-6. It is probally totally different for your car.

tireburner, how much did your stall cost?

Rev, my 351 was rebuilt sometime before I owned it, but it was done with stock replacement parts. No forged anything, stock replacement bolts, etc. I think 6000 might be a bit too low of an rpm for the limiter, but I know 7000 would be too high...sooo, just to be safe I opted for the 6000 plug. I'd really like to see a 3200-3500 stall speed...I think I might be leaning more towards the Super Streetfighter now. :confused:

I think it was around $400 shipped.
