Ptc 9.5

[Grandn2]

Do I have to get this built to match my engine combo or does it adjust to my combo? Is it lu or nl? I'll be running it on the street with a 6262... I hear that lu is better for street.

 

[big reazon]

Builds it for you combo. with that turbo I would recommend a nlu. Call dusty and he will tell you everything you need to know.

 

[Grandn2]

I am running that converter with my 6262, you will like it! Probably should invest in a good external cooler for it.

Mark,

How do you like that converter on the street? Do you miss the lock-up on trips?

I like it! Don't really miss the lockup at all. I am running just an external cooler with fan on it. Temps seem to be fine, running a temp gauge with it. I am using a manual switch for the fan so I have more control over the fan. Was running the automatic sensor with the fan but felt it was letting the temp get too high before coming on. Eventually will wire it up so I can use either way, just haven't got around to it yet. I am running 3.50 gears with 275/60 15's.

I have the same converter but I had the stator ported for a little more rpm for foot braking.Mine is a DD and I love the NLU.I took it on a road trip drove 1 1/2 hours one way made two dyno pulls and drove back home on less than half of tank of gas.
Average speeds were 65 mph.

70 MPH on highway takes about 50 more RPM with the PTC over my previous LU's. Performance and drivability is greatly improved.

Dusty knows his stuff and is one of the best vendors we have.

That's impossible without lock-up:biggrin:

Thanks for the feedback. It's hard to describe how much different these are than the non locks we all ran years ago. If I had my way, a lock-up converter would be a thing of the past.

Dusty, you are starting to sound like Art Carr in the early years of the GN's as he is a BIG fan of non-lock up converters for our cars. Before his converter guy retired, he had awesome converters for our cars, now you have that honor.

He spent 1/2 of a tech seminar at BG one year just on the reasons why especially a race car should have a GOOD non-lock up converter, and could not believe why any racer would do a lock up?

We just replaced a LU converter on a street driven GN after a year of hard street driving, as the clutch disk completely trashed the converter

 

[KevinB]

the non lock up ptc 9.5 i have is about the same as the lock up converter i had in the car originally rpm wise one the highway. plus it works pretty good on the track too

 

[kidglok]

imo dusty's non lock is so efficient it almost feels like a lockup

 

[ttypewhite]

Dusty, is the man. He nailed my converter on the first shot. I am extremely pleased with my purchase and more importantly, the customer support.

I think I'll post a video of a highway cruise just to show that the slip is minimal. Some don't even believe me when I tell them how little slippage there is.

Lock-up's do have their place for those guys looking for just a little more stall in their mostly stock gn. Most of the time they want a direct swap rather than changing out the non lock valve. When it comes to anyone remotely interested in track times the non lock is the way to go.

As Nick pointed out. You can look through the trans section and see post after post of TCC issues, lock-up issues. The non lock does away with all of these problems giving you years of worry free abuse.
