Quick Answer: For mild cammed street Holden V8 builds, the popular 2200–2400 rpm converter is a great starting point. It is a nice, efficient, cruise-friendly converter for easy driving. For bigger cams, especially around 230@.050 duration and above, the popular 3500 rpm converter is a strong choice for both 308 and 355 stroker builds. It gives harder launches, helps the engine get up into its torque range, and suits tough street and street/strip applications. It is still tight enough for street-friendly cruising.
PLEASE NOTE: Standard-input Powerglide converters also suit Holden V8 Trimatic applications.All the converters we have listed here in this category fit both Powerglide & Holden V8 Trimaic.

Choosing A Holden Trimatic Or Powerglide Torque Converter
This category covers Holden V8 Trimatic and GM Powerglide torque converters for 253, 304, 308 and 355 Holden V8 combinations. It includes street converters, high stall converters, anti-balloon converter options and popular TCI Powerglide converter choices for mild street, tough street and street/strip builds.
The right stall speed depends on your camshaft, engine torque, diff gears, tyre size, vehicle weight and how the car is driven. Mild Holden V8 street cars often suit a lower stall converter, while bigger camshafts and 355 stroker engines may need a 3000, 3200, 3500 or higher stall converter to get into the powerband.
Powerglide converter fitment matters. Standard-input Powerglide converters can also suit Holden V8 Trimatic applications, but they are not the same as every TH350 or TH400 converter. If you are unsure about Powerglide torque converter spacing, input shaft fitment or whether a converter will suit your Trimatic, call Total Performance before ordering.
