Circle D Specialties GM 245mm Pro Series 8L90 Torque Converter
The Circle D Specialties GM 245mm Pro Series 8L90 Torque Converter is the ultimate high-performance upgrade for enthusiasts seeking lightning-fast engine response and explosive launches from their modern GM vehicle. Featuring a highly compact 245mm diameter, this converter drastically reduces rotational mass compared to a bulky factory unit. This lightweight footprint allows your engine to rev faster and flash instantly into its optimal powerband, making it perfect for aggressive street cars and weekend track warriors equipped with an 8L90 transmission.
Engineered to handle serious power and aggressive shifting, this Pro Series converter features a rigid billet front cover and a billet apply piston, completely eliminating the flex and ballooning issues common with stamped factory components. Crucially, it utilizes a Triple Clutch Lockup assembly, providing unmatched holding capacity during wide-open throttle (WOT) lock-up tuning on modern 8-speed applications. Inside, heat-treated steel splines and a flanged style hub ensure superior anti-flex durability, while the assemblies are fully furnace brazed with hand TIG welded fins. Pair it with an optional heavy-duty Billet Flexplate for LS or Gen-V LT engines to complete your bulletproof drivetrain package.
