How’s this combo sound for cruising

The current combo is

383 727. 8.75 with a 355 gear and 26.8 inch tires

I’d like to run a gearvendor unit to lower my 65-70 mph cruise rpm by 400 or 500 whatever it is

I’m also running a 2500 stall converter now. The cam is a 230/236 comp grind that has issues wanting to push through the brakes
Hence the upgrade to the 2400-2500 stall converter

What’s everyone’s opinion. Will the combo work?

I’d like to be 2500 rpm as close to 70 as possible

Unless you are running a lockup style 727, you need to consider what your cruise rpm will be v/s the converter rpm. If cruise is lower than the converter it might be a problem. You would need to discuss it with your converter manufacturer.

Finding and buying a good torque converter can be very challenging, especially on the street: whiney:
I've raced Mopar BB and 426 hemi motors a lot of years and went through several different good converter companies
The best street and strip converter I was able to buy and use was a Turbo Action 8 ich SS/AA race converter that I was able to buy from a SS/AA racer in SO CA years ago, I bought a T/A nine inch from him also
That 8 inch was really good on the street, especially at light part throttle driving
I have had really good success using FTI trannies converters these last two years

true i have a cheap hughs 2400 converter i assume that it "should" be ok for me i like fti and pro torque myself

i

thanks for your insight again. i appreciate it tremendously

The understatement of the decade

YOU NEED THIS

It took me 3 tries to get happy with my converter. And I have to pull the engine and tranny to change the converter. What a chore.
