3500 rpm High Stall Torque Converter, Anti-Balloon Plate. Fits Powerglide & 308 Holden Trimatic

TCI 741001 StreetFighter Converter Details

The TCI 741001 StreetFighter converter suits hot street, street/strip and higher-load Powerglide or suitable Holden V8 Trimatic builds that need more stall than a cruiser converter.

The 3000–3400 rpm stall lets a bigger cam engine flash into its usable torque range before the car loads hard. This helps harder take-off, stronger acceleration and better street/strip response.

Anti-Balloon Plate: Built for harder-hitting power from blowers, turbos and nitrous. Under sudden load, a converter can try to balloon forward, which can push against the crank and accelerate thrust bearing wear. The anti-balloon plate adds strength to help control converter cover distortion in higher-load builds. This is the heavy-duty StreetFighter option.

The anti-balloon plate is the key upgrade over the cheaper TCI 741000. It adds converter strength for higher-load use, including boosted, turbo and nitrous-style builds.

It is a good match for Holden V8 builds with more cam, more gear and enough engine combo to use the extra stall. Mild cam daily drivers should look at a lower stall converter such as the Breakaway or Saturday Night Special range.

Check your full combination before ordering. Stall speed changes with engine torque, camshaft, gearing, vehicle weight and intended use.
