Q about housing sizes
When shopping for converters I noticed all these difference size for the converter housings. Most trucks ones I saw were 9.5 inch, 10 inch, 12 inch etc...
How do the different sizes affect driving issues and which ones are best? I've heard the smaller the converter the tighter it will be. Is that true?

Ok, cool so you want the smallest one possible to knock down rotational mass but you also want the most amount of surface area on the disks to provide the most amount of friction...I see the dilemma. So the bigger the converter you get the more HP loss you'll have through the drive train...I would presume.

Actually I'm planning on putting in a yank 2600 9.5 inch and was hoping it would be tighter. But the reason I was curious about sizes is because a buddy just bought a 12 inch 2600 performa built converter and I was wondering how his would differ from mine.
