New 1054 converter

[Mike L.]

Just got the 1054 delivered this afternoon. This is a combination 1055/1056, or in other words, a 1056 with a 1055 billet stator. I asked Ron at SC how that combination might work and he built it. We don't know exactly what it will do, kinda like a wildcat.

Might this converter find it's way into Casper?

I hope the 1054 is way to tight for Casper, at least that's the plan. Casper does not need another converter.

Nope. We launched at 3200 RPM and 72% throttle with 30-32 PSI of boost. Figure 500hp?

Converter is spot on.

Nice Pat.

Mike, you say the 1054 too tight for Casper. What would the ideal setup be for a 1054 Converter?

Maybe the same as the 56? lifted trucks or slightly bigger chargers:dontknow:

I thought thats what the 1058 was for?

Nope, here is Mike's description

GM-1058-3D
Approx. brake stall is 2300 RPM

This converter is great for everyday driving with stock to medium size turbos and big HP tunes. It will brake stall at 2300 RPM, but still couples at cruising speeds. Shifts at 2000-2500 and you will see about a 500 RPM drop. This converter has no limits.

sounds nice

I just didn't have time to install it today. Ron installed his copy at SC and says I will love it. I hope I guessed right on this one.

Dam you Mike! How is a person suppose to decide on a converter when you guys keep comeing out with new ones:rofl:


I only have a couple more weeks Im interested to hear your feed back on this one.....:baby:

 

[Turbotug]

I'm guessing if it is too tight for Casper, you'll be in the same boat.

 

[Diesel323]

So, right now I have a 1057 but they are pretty much gone now. I also just put in a A5k from a stock lbz turbo. I was wondering if I should sell my 1057 and get different one now?

I am wondering what would be the best combo now for a A5k?

1055 or 1054? Or none of those?

Number one priority is sled pulling tho, drag is just for fun. I want the best for sled pulling.

This is my daily driver tho also.

Also I don't run dual cp3's, maybe next year along with some engine parts.

Thanks,

Adam

I need to put the Moonshine back in and test it under big power and see how it acts. I will try to do it today.
