Circle D 4C 245mm Full Billet Stall Converter Installed
After sitting on the floor since August, I finally had my 245mm Circle D 4C stall converter installed up at RPM (Race Proven Motorsports - DE)! I had the dreaded TC shuddering on the stock converter and it was just getting worse and worse by the day (16K miles on the car).
I have used the good folks at RPM multiple times over the years and have always been satisfied. I have a Circle D in my 5th gen, so it was a no brainer to get one in my 6th Gen. The 4C WAKES this car up!! Night and Day difference for sure! Drive with traction control on for everyday driving...LOL! Car stays in the powerband and the shift drop is A LOT less now. I can brakestall to a tad over 3K RPM, before the car starts budging. Very impressed and I wouldn't expect anything different from Chris and the good folks at Circle D. The trans def has to be tuned for it tho. I drove around on the stock trans TCC tables and such for a cpl days before I made a couple tweaks and it seems just about right now. HPT Beta has additional tables finally for TCC Lockup and such. I have TCC slip turned off on every gear, but not at 3,200RPM range (For the folks who know that table). I was previously doing 1.55/1.56 60fts with a 26" tire at the track, so let's see if I can dip into the mid 1.4x area code...should be no issue tho. Excerpt for RPM Weekly video....

beautiful... leaning towards making the switch but waiting to see how the triple flush and the TCM tweaks are first before I step into an aftermarket TC.

Awesome bro. Glad you got it in. It is a world of difference. I dropped 1.5 on my 60ft with mine. You could see some low 1.4's. When you get those TCC tables figured out hook a brotha up. LOL.

Sweeet. I'm sure it will work out for you, I didn't want to crack mine apart and do this mod...but if you light it up, I may be calling them and getting one too. How many shop hours did they bill for the job? Just wondering if it's a driveway and a case of beer event or a drop it off kinda thing.
I just started watching their videos over the weekend, they are pretty entertaining too.
