    Question Circle D Converter

    I'm looking to buy a circle D 3200 converter. I have not heard many things about circle D and would just like to know how everyone who uses them likes them. My only concerns are drivability and strength. It may be a 3200 stall, but does this mean it will stall to 3200 rpm under all driving conditions or only when I drop the hammer? Again, I'd like to retain good drivability and I have heard that with the proper "Stall Torque Ratio" I can do this even with a higher stall. And exactly how much abuse will a cirlce D converter take? Does it at least have an anti-ballooning plate? I'm putting down 500+ tq to the wheels on high boost and I want a STOUT converter.

    Well first of all with normal driving it will take a little more rpm than stock to move good. So that is what it flashes to. And i know guys with cam it usually just brake stalls from 2600-3200.

    With out a doubt this would be the brand I would go with just based off of the reviews on this site.

    Yeah the circle D converter sounds like I'd get a lot of bang for my buck...I just wish I could actually get a hold of this Chris guy. I've been trying to contact him for the past couple of days

    I bought mine used off of HIC(a site member). I'm sure he didn't treat it very nice and niether have I. It's been running like a champ. I spray a 125 and Hic sprayed it too, not sure how much though.
