Looks aren't everything…but with regards to torque converters they can hide the secret to winning races. For sanctioning bodies that mandate the use of a "stock appearing" converter TCI Circle Track Torque Converters satisfy the rulebook requirements while delivering a distinct performance advantage. TCI Circle Track Torque Converters are specially designed with a lower "positive lock-up" stall speed eliminating approximately 10% of the power robbing slippage found in OEM and lesser quality converters. On the track this results in huge off-the-corner acceleration improvements and the ultimate in "green flag" starting speed. Built with a heavy-duty stator furnace-brazed fins and precision-certified stall speed to maximize efficiency these stock appearing converters usually reduce lap times by one to two-tenths of a second. In addition these converters feature reduced rotational weight to improve engine braking in corners and lower transmission operating temperatures.
