DRAGON Torque Convertor Single Disc
Supposedly it gives 40-50 HP to the real wheels.
Has anyone used this converter or heard about it?
Is it worth 700 bucks? How does it perform?

I also have a bridge for sale!
Really now.............
A replacement torque converter only raises the stall speed of the converter. It CANNOT add hp. The ABSOLUTE best one can do os possibly free up wasted hp due to less friction. At best...only a couple hp at the wheels. The 40-50hp thing???? HAHAHAHAHA

The trans in the SC is very poor off the line. An upgraded torque converter helps improve off the line performance.
Do remember that's there's a price to pay.......decreased fuel mileage.

What it can do is give you a significant spike of torque early on to get you a substantially improved launch. As the previous poster said it does not add HP.
Precision Industries (who makes the Dragon) has a website with a lot of information, check it out.
