Torque converter — your choice, no extra charge

Goerend 19SS — stock stall. Comes up on engine RPM fast and couples well. Use it on a stock or daily-driven truck, or one running a larger turbo that needs higher RPM to spool. Torque ratio 1.830 · K-factor 101.1

Goerend 15SS — stalls approximately 300 RPM below stock. A tighter stall that couples lower, maximizes low-RPM pulling power, and keeps transmission temperatures down. Use it on a truck that tows, hauls and works hard, with a stock turbo or a light tune. Torque ratio 1.798 · K-factor 88.4

D&P Low stall- Great for stock to lightly modified daily drivers that tow and get used like a truck

Not sure which? Call us. Stall depends on what your engine makes, so the right answer depends on your combination.
