#2X. Same converter as above with a balloon plate, rated up to 550 horse power. This lock-up converter can be ordered with stall speeds of 1200 to 2800 RPM. Can be used with Nitrous. Cost $390.00

You'll want the 2800. It'll actually be about 2500 with the V-6

If you can use the #2 (no nitrous) it's cheaper.

#5X. " Extreme Duty Power Raptor Lock-up " Fits 4L60E transmissions (non-LS1 type motors and C5 Corvette). This is a 9 1/2 inch converter with a 12 inch lock-up carbon fiber clutch rated up to 700 horse power. Can be ordered in stall speeds of 2000 to 4000 RPM. We stock 2000, 2600, 2800, 3000 and 3200. Lower 60 foot times and improved quarter mile times, an average of 1/2 second reduction! The Ultimate Top of the Line Lock-Up Converter. Cost $550.00


This is the one I use. 3200 stall.

Found a VERY important note;

We recommend the Diablo Sport Predator (#20X) be used on all 1998 up 4L60E performance transmissions for the following reason. All 1998 ups have a Torque Management System that picks up the higher stall speed and firmer shifts. When this happens the computer thinks there's a problem and turns the pressure down. Then it detects a slip and turns the pressure up too high and blows the end out of the clutch drum. This problem is corrected with the use of the Predator.

you are an huge help. thanks

[nomaboy]

i can see as how that programmer would work to eliminate torque management but they don't offer it for my truck so i guess i will have to get the ls1 edit

[Sparky2263]

I'm not extremely up-to-speed on torque management except it should be called torque limiting ;)

Just kidding, it really sucks.

I know this is an ancient thread but.. what's the difference? Did GM change convertors? Will an earlier TC bolt up & play nicely? The reason I ask is because I have a 2200 Stall TC sitting here for what I was told a 700R4/4L60E.. I was never told a difference & the trans shop that sold it didn't seem to either.
