Once our transmission swap was completed, we took it outside to test. As tested, our Precision Industries Stallion converter with lockup retails for $834. We found this feature alone was worth 10 horses at the wheels since the converter wasn't slipping and losing horsepower in high gear. The lockup feature, which is activated electronically, mates the engine with the flywheel for 100-percent lockup, just as with a stick car. Ours is a 9.5-inch lockup converter with a 2,500-rpm stall. That alone makes the converter a bargain, since you will likely change combinations on your car, making a converter change necessary. These torque converters come with a two-year warranty, which includes a free stall adjustment in the first two years of ownership. Typically, a street car such as ours will see a two-tenths gain in the 60-foot times and more than a half-second reduction in elapsed time through the quarter-mile. These little gems can range in stall speeds from 2,400 to 6,000 rpm, and they have been tested in 1,600hp applications. Also working with the good folks at Precision Industries, we obtained one of the company's trick Stallion Series torque converters.
