Re: Tourqe Convertor Multiplier

I don't think they would hold up very long with power addders since their rated at maybe 150 HP plus the heat would be a big factor also, and I wouldn't want it to blow up an taking out my tranny also. I looked into it awhile back and also called some shops and they agreed not to risk it esp. if I'm wanting at least 350 WRHP to 400 WRHP. But stock I guess it wouldn't hurt esp. running 3.42's or 3.73's and a cam in the 3200-6000 RPM range. But I would still trust a shop that builds its own and will rate them at a certain HP and is a 9.5" , lose 15-20 LBS of rotating mass and its only $200 more. Or sometimes you got to risk it to get the Biscuit. LOL

Any less reliable than my stocker? Been beating on that thing since day one and it's still good. I guess i may not do a convertor then becuase i really am not lookin to spend a few hundred on one right now.

I would think yes, somewhat less reliable than your stocker. When the S10 converter locks up your motor would be making more power in that RPM range than when your stocker locks up.
