Acra torque converters

Anybody ever hear of Acra torque converters?
They are made by Acra-Tork in Blueridge,Ga
This guy came highly recommended by several transmission shops I talked to
He builds a billet tripple disc torq for $465.The stall speed is 1200 RPM.He showed us the parts he puts in the torque and the most were made by Sonnax

Anywho a friend ordered one today and should have it Thursday,so hopefully i'll see how it works by the first of next week

Never heard of them ,but $465 for a billet 3 disc sounds like a steal. I may look into them myself....

I'm pretty sure that a 1200 rpm stall is a little on the low side

Think that's about what the 6.0 torque stall is.Stock 7.3 is 1475 I think

The torque converter went into buddies truck this past weekend along with a Transgo Tugger kit
Between the two what a difference.A 9500# dump truck that will burn the tires with a superchips programmer
We haven't put a good load on it yet,but think there wil be a big difference

We finally hauled some good size loads on the truck (almost 6 tons) and it is a completely different truck from the pulling stand point
