2200-2400 RPM Powerglide + Holden 308 Trimatic Breakaway Stall Torque Converter, Street Cruise

TCI 741100 Breakaway Converter Details

The TCI 741100 Breakaway converter suits mild cam Powerglide and suitable Holden V8 Trimatic street cars that need better take-off without going too loose.

The 2200–2400 rpm stall lets the engine flash into its usable torque range as the cam comes in. This gives better take-off from the lights while keeping the car nice to drive.

This is a good converter for cruisers, daily drivers and weekend street cars. It has some high-stall character, but stays tight enough for highway, freeway and normal street driving.

It suits smaller camshaft combinations, especially mild street cams around 214 degrees @ .050 to low 220s @ .050. Bigger cam or harder street/strip builds may need more converter.

This is not the converter for big cam, nitrous, boosted or hard race-style use. Step up to a StreetFighter or Super StreetFighter converter when the engine and driveline need more stall and stronger high-load construction.
