Performance Converters

Pro-Street 30 Series

All Pro-Street converters are brazed to increase strength and have full needle bearing design, front and rear to insure reliability. All stall speeds are approximate and will depend upon application. Call for specific recommendations.

Competition Converter 40 Series

The most important factor in performance driving is how your car leaves the starting line. This Hughes Street and Strip converter is exclusively designed for the serious racer. The replacement of the fiber thrust washers with heavy duty needle bearings packages enables this converter to be run on the street, but is recommended for the strip.

Street/Strip 35 Series

Excellent for weekend racing and high performance street use. All converters are brazed and feature a strengthened sprag, special cut stator, and full needle bearings front and rear.

Pro Competition 45 Series

All Pro Competition series converters have full needle bearing replacement of fiber washers. Special silicon spot brazing on top and bottom add to strength and reliability. Hughes performance installs a premium built sprag assembly and a specially machined stator.

 

Pro-Street 30 Series, Street/Strip 35 Series, Competition Converter 40 Series and Pro Competition 45 Series Torque converters are NOT designed for transbrake operation. Please contact Hughes performance for the correct converter for transbrake use.
