Torque Converter Brands

[sscamaro2000]

I bought the TCI break-away for my 450 HP LS1 and it lasted 5,000 miles before shelling out completely one night. I have now purchased an ATI Treemaster that is basically a custom-made racing converter that they make to fit the exact specifications of your car. I have talked to several people that race for a living and they say that the ATI TC's are practically impossible to break. I learned the hard way that production converters like TCI and B&M are junk. Check them out at http://www.atiracing.com/ and you will see that they use superior materials and craftmanship. The owner, Jim Beattie, is very helpful.

The only two brands I would go with are:

1. Yank
2. Vigilante

I have never read any complaints about the above manufacturers.

I have a Y3000 in my vehicle for over 7 years without any problems whatsoever.

LOL yea TCI can be crap. My bud has a mopar that he bought a TCI trans and TC and he broke 4 flex plates and cracked the trans in half before figuring out that TCI had given him the wrong part #'s for his 360.

I have used 4 TCI converters on 4 different cars and never had a problem.
