10L90 torque converters

I don't see many posts on converters, but I'm nevertheless wondering if anyone has had a good experience with a specific converter like say a Suncoast or whatever on a mod Camaro?

I believe @RabbitZL1 is running one on his TT ZL1, you should reach out to him. I suspect it works well… I couldn’t catch him at the strip this past fall that’s for sure.

I don't think you'll see that much of an advantage if any at all. Plenty of stock converter Zs and SS Camaro's making more power then yours cutting 60ft times in the 1.20s. Jason Levia is one of the fastest in the country and still running a stock Zl1 converter.

I'm not finding @RabbitZL1 here or at twitter. Any other suggestions for contacting him?

There was a dude on YT that used Suncoast. Floridamantv or something. He didn't provide a whole lot of feedback though. He was kinda' lame, IMO.

KaTech has recommended Suncoast ($3500) for 9 sec. Camaros. My tuner says my OEM isn't locking up, but I wonder how much a new one will help

Really? Honest question. I swear it usually works for me…then again, I don’t use it that often.

Yea unfortunately; I get errors ALL the time when trying to search (advanced and regular really).

Still love this site and camaro5 though, so, it is what it is lol

The site search function is shit... Use DuckduckGo or Google. I typed RabbitZL1 into Google and a lot of information popped up on him.

Not surprised. The fact that there's so little discussion on them says a lot, as does the fact that one of the most prominent shops told me they only have one customer using one. All of this combines to tell me it's not worth doing.

Like I said earlier its not worth the time or money for minimal gains if any. Use the 4k Plus on other mods.
