Ordering your TCI®
Race Converter
At TCI®, we build race converters to suit the wants and needs of a
variety of racers so we design literally hundreds of race converter
combinations. Our rebuild department can rebuild or repair most any
brand of torque converter to TCI® specifications. TCI® converters can also
be manufactured to accommodate motor plates. This section contains the part numbers necessary to describe
the application (transmission type) and to obtain pricing from our price
list. To order, simply provide
as much information as possible and either give it to your
distributor or contact one of our technical
advisors and let TCI® specify the right converter for your vehicle and
driving style. See our online application
form.
7" Race Converters
TCI® helped lead the way in the design of the 7" race converter.
Developed for use with a small cubic inch engine or very high rpm engine
(8500+ rpm) that requires the ultimate high-stall converters. The TCI® 7"
race converter delivers higher stall and better top-end lock-up than an
8" converter. Because of the wide variety of engine combinations, tire
sizes, gear ratios and weights of different vehicles, we have provided a
reference chart to use when ordering your 7"·converter. Click

8" Race Converters
Our best-selling race torque
converter. Suitable for the greatest percentage of drag cars, TCI® 8" converters win races in classes from bracket racing and Super
Gas to Sand Dragging and Stock Eliminator. We continually work to refine
the dependability and consistency in these converters to give you a
better unit. Most of our models now feature a cast steel stator
supported by an oversize caged bearing for added reliability. Current
models also feature an improved housing design for less flex or
ballooning under the stress of racing, resulting in more consistent
elapsed times, faster reaction times and better durability.
