I am in desperate need of a torque converter, lookin for some help.

Ive got a '73 dart w/ 360", brodix heads, camshaft is .230@.50, 727 w/ man valvebody. Car currently has 3.55 gear in it as i drive it quite often. I also have a 4.30. Car is set-up for 50-150 shot of spray, but has not been used. Car currently runs 12.20s @ 109-111 mph with 1.98s 60ft time. Current converter stall is about 1500+-. Car is crossing the traps @7000rpm in 2nd gear in the 1/4 .

I am looking for a converter that i can run both gears with if needed, but will prob keep the 3.55 mostly. Need something to get the 60ft times down-- car is a dog out of the hole but really picks up on the big end.

Any suggestions of stall, brand , etc would be greatly appreciated.........


Thanks
Ryan

I would think a good 3000 would do it!

PTC 9.5. And if you spray it and it seems like too much stall, then don't spray it.
