Converter Advice FTI

[87drbuick]

New to the site:

I am looking for some feedback on this FTI Torque converter for my application. I spoke with a rep over there and they gave me the advice to take the following converter for my use:

Street Racer Lock-Up Series Torque Converter - 9.5" - 2004R/700R4/4L60

ftiperformance.com

triple disc.

My build:

Comp Turbo CT4 Billet 6265
63 exhaust housing
25lbs of boost
Alky
60lbs injectors
TT Chip
3inch downpipe
RJC FMIC
Forged pistons
Built 200r good for 700 hp
MAF/Transistor
TA Performance Street Eliminator 1.6 rockers
I do not know the cam specs.

I plan on using it mostly on the street but I will go to the dragstrip a few times a year and some roll racing.


I did not see a lot of information on here for these converters and was hoping for some feedback. Are we good?

+1 on this. My PTC 17 blade from Dusty works great.

Anyone used that FTI converter ??

PTC 17 works great.. ran 8's with

For more street use I'd go with a TCI LU. Ran mid 9's.

I run a 9.5IN 700R4 & 4L60(EARLY) ECONOMY LOCK-UP STREET RACER SERIES - 27 SPLINE - 3000 STALL in my stock turbo car.

It's great.

I run a triple disc lockup in my turbo LS truck. always had good experiences with FTI convertors.

There are plenty of good options for these cars.

pretty much what was posted above. unless this fti can provide some real live buyers with good feed back i'd be Leary of dropping coin on an unknown.

You will like that converter. I run one in my 86 GN, see my signature for the times.

On my mild combo she doesn't do too bad.

That's cool. What specific converter did you get?

Mine is the 3021HF (hi flow) .085” endplay.
Dave said 2800- 3200 rpm stall depending on power level.
I’m set up more for Autocross so I’m sure is a bit different.
