Ever used the XTM series. I was looking into the "Tow Master" and the tech line recommended the XTM. Can't find anything about that series good or bad.
Which one did you use in your C4?
My last one was a TCI 2200 and I hated it, made lots of heat in the trans. Going with the Hughes 1800 this time. Thanks for the reply.
Talked to tech support at Hughes, guy named Scott. He recommended there XTM series (extreme tow master) which is an 1800 stall. This is exactly what I was thinking I needed even before I spoke with Scott. Problem is that I can't find where anyone has commented on this particular converters performance. I know that Hughes makes an excellent converter just want some first hand experiences with the Hughes F42XTM that he recommend and so far I have come up with nothing. By the way, I also ran a higher stall converter previously and hated it. It is ridiculous how much heat a high stall can build in the tranny, ruined my C4.
Thought about going custom but just don't think my engine and trans combo would benefit from it. Talked to Jay at Broader Trans and he stated that I would not feel any difference between one of his customs and a off the shelf for around town driving. He said the only benefit would be longevity, they are built with stronger parts. I would probably shave some time off my 1/4 mile et's with a custom but that is not what I am after. The extra cost ($100 additional) is just not worth it in my opinion. By the way, don't over look Jay at Broader Transmission if you want a custom TC. He is a very knowledgable about Ford trans and torque converters and builds them in house. He is a Ford guy, and people who have used him swear by him.
