  • Performance Torque Converters of Texas

    Has anyone used these guys before? They are out of Kennedale and they were recommended to me by my tranny builder. After talking to another friend he said he used one of their converters after a recommendation from his builder. I just wanted to poll a larger audience to see what kind of experiences others have had with them.

          Yea, always heard good things about Trick Shift. Also, might want to give Alan a call at Dirty Dog Performance. He'll build a converter to your specs and will hold whatever HP you think you can throw at it. Dropped my 60 ft. over 3/10s on a n/a bolt on Mustang 2v. With almost stock like drivability.

          Oh, and whatever you go with. Install an external tranny cooler. I've got before and after datalogs that show just how more heat a 10" vs. 11.25" diameter converter will generate. I had good luck with the B&M low pressure drop super cooler working in tandem with the stock cooler in the radiator.

                I've installed 6 converters from performance and Had to replace all of them. In all fairness they where on diesels that make some power. I replaced them with mikes and only had one failure (not his fault a snap ring broke and he took care of it)

                  I did call Mike. I have been calling just about everyone I can think of to get opinions on what converter I should run. As far as cheaper goes. Mike was $100 more than the PTC of Texas guys. I still have not ruled him out just trying to get as much info as I can right now.

                      I have ran one of Sarges converters (PTC Tx). Damn good converter, especially for the money.

                            Of course, I say Mike as well.

                            He does all of my trans work, and almost all of my customers cars too.
