All converters are built to spec, so if one were to demand a looser converter, I wouldn't refuse. But as a rule of thumb, converter stall runs about 500 rpm lower than your typical street/strip converter. Coupling efficiency is greater across the board as well, so flash stall rpm tends to run lower as well. Your drivetrain will tug harder on the engine.

All this should theoretically hinder E.T. and 60 foot times, but given te traction limitations of the typical pro-touring tire, the tighter converter can help overall.

A more specific response would require a detailed conversation with you regarding vehicle specs. Feel free to give us a call.

Thanks
