I’m wondering what guys are using for converters. Years ago I had a buggy with a th400 and an ArtCarr converter that Twisted Customs worked with ArtCarr (Texas) to build. I mention Texas because at the time there were two AC’s
My buggy was tpi small block/stack 5.14 transfercase/4.10 d60’s and 44” tsl’s
I could walk beside it, reach in and touch the throttle and the buggy would smoothly accelerate. If I let off it would stop rolling.
I’m my head I’m wondering how much that had to do with the 4.10. Right at a 52/1 crawl ratio.
I’m in the planning stages and a 4l65e is my transmission choice. So I’m pondering converters.
At the time ArtCarr said my converter was considered by them to be a “high efficiency high stall” terminology that isn’t used together too often. It’s rather small. They said they used parts from a th200/th400 to build it. Based on its size I sort of always assumed it was a th200 converter that was modified for higher stall but splined onto a th400 and the size and modifications made it “HE/HS” and that allowed the control that I had.
Scott@rockstomper ad a C6 converter from AC that gave him similar control with similar gearing.
Anyways, I wanted to start a conversation and see what others think or know and what guys who run 4l60/700r4 ish transmissions use and what their “driving through the brakes” experience is/was.
