O.K. I'm lookin for some opinions here, and yes I know what they say about opinions, but seriously I am at a mental standstill right now. First of all I recently bought a 360/380 HP Crate Motor. I had planned on buying a torque converter in the range of 2500 to 3500 rpm, that is until I looked at the engine instructions and warranty paperwork that came with my motor. MP recommends the 145K converter since it is balanced already for the externally balanced 360. The 145K works out to be about a 1900 to 2100 stall from what I have read. Now I am obviously looking for an awsome launch to go along with the 380HP. But I am weary about getting anything which is not balanced for the 360 crate. I know they sell balance kits but I wouldnt have a clue as to how to install it correctly.
So my question is what should I go with?
The recommended 145K stall (1900 to 2100) or something higher? Has anyone actually installed a 360/380HP crate with the 145K and if so are you satisfied with your Launch?
Oh one other important factoid, I have been accused of being a bit anal retentive and suffer from a mild case of OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder). That's my wife opinion anyway, so you can see why I an in a quandry over this :laughing:
