There are converters out there that are MORE efficient than stock so it all depends on what you started with and where you are going.

I had a Yank TP4200 stall that flashed to 5000rpm on the dyno and made 460RWTQ and only 390RWHP in my formula when I had a mild heads/cam. Car ran 11.30s @ 122mph with that combo at 3600 pound raceweight. I could ignite the tires punching the gas at 60mph. It wasn't all that streetable but it was a beast at the track with 4.10 gears

Cheers,

It's the APS 2600stall converter.

It's made from the stock converter, so it should be the same diameter.

I don't know the torque ratio.
