Default What converter do you all run with a supercharger?

Just wondering what you all run, I'm getting mixed answers from supercharged and turbocharged setups.

My truck 99 ecsb 5.3 cammed tr220-112lsa, milled heads, mp122HH (8-9psi) tipical full bolt ons and long tubes ory.

Trans is a 65e lvl 5 Flt I just changed out my fuddle 3200 stall (n/a- nos stall) to a yank sc3000
The truck is no where near as snappy (thinking size difference the yank is bigger) trans doesn't seem to get as hot but man this thing feels like a turd now pretty bumbed out - I thought this is the stall to choose for my setup am I wrong?

Is that a tighter stall? Are you supercharged? You like it?

I view this from my iPhone I don't see signatures

Depends on your blower type, for a positive displacement it's perfect, for a Procharger I would want a bit higher stall speed. This is why you have the converter specd for your setup, not just buy one off the shelf.

Yes I am supercharged, TVS 2300 @ 15psi

I got spec'd a circle d 258mm 3000 single billet-
Came across a deal on the yank- figured 1/4" in size difference wouldn't matter to much-
Didn't think to much about it.
I Should've realized its Two different companies probably built different with there STR different

Circle D won't talk to you about STR. It's overrated.

I have a 3200 Circle D and love it.

A circle D 3000 for a MP122 is not ideal... and as you push it to more power it will only get worse. Get something tighter.

I would go with either a Yank 2800 or a PI 2600. The PI will be noticably tighter, but thats not necessarily a bad thing. As you make more power the PI could likely be faster, but as the truck sits the Yank would likely get you off the line better.

A PD blower makes its power and torque low. I use PTC to build all my converters.

I used to run a performabuilt 3000 stall then switched to a circle D 2600 triple disc. I love the tighter stall on my maggie
