Hi all, I've just had a new 440 built, and want to use a lower-stall torque converter than the 3,000 rpm that was in it previously. My engine is making 448 hp @ 5,000 rpm, and 507 lb ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. It's a 440-6, going into my '71 Satellite, and will be street driven 99.9% of the time. I want a stall speed of 2300-2600 rpm, and am looking at the following two converters: B&M Holeshot 2400 Hughes Performance Street Master Any opinions, pro or con, would be appreciated. Thanks! Roger

I put the Street Master in my old wagon when I put the 440 in it. Worked well for me. No complaints at all.

Thanks for the input, guys. I'm using a cam from Bob Karakashian (Mr Six Pack), and 2300-2600 was the stall range he recommended. I want it to drive more like a stock '70-71 car, and be more streetable. I really didn't like the 3.000 rpm stall that the prior owner had in the car when I bought it.
Btw, nice Charger, Strokie! Thanks, I also use a cam from Bob Karakashian (Mr Six Pack).
