Stall Speeds:

• 5FAX: Will stall approximately 800 RPM above stock. The 5FAX is a high-stall torque converter. It's designed strictly for racing and sled pulling applications. The 5FAX is suitable for vehicles with larger 69-80mm turbos and for situations where more engine RPM is required to get the turbo spooled. The 5FAX is extremly eay to spool up and helps trucks accelerate into boost.

  Use With: Complete racing or sled pulling vehicles with large turbos and injectors.

  Torque Ratio: 2.016

  K-Factor: 135.2

  5FBX: Will stall approximately 400 RPM above stock. The 5FBX enhances turbo spooling capabilities, making it particularly suitable for 60-68mm turbos that require higher RPM to reach efficiency. This stall will spool much faster than stock but will also couple harder, efficiently putting power to the ground. The 5FBX works well for trucks used for racing and spirited driving while maintaining good street manners relative to other higher stall converters.

  Use With: Spirited driving vehicles with some street use.

  Torque Ratio: 2.087

  K-Factor: 113.6

  ---

  5FBX10: Will stall approximately 250 RPM above stock. The 5FBX10 improves overall driving experience by reducing excessive engine RPM at cruising speeds. This stall couples efficiently in the mid range. A touch looser than stock when leaving from a stop, but couples much harder and efficiently once moving. The BX10 lowers cruising slip and has an improved towing feel.

  Use With: Daily driving, and mid-duty towing.

  Torque Ratio: 2.027

  K-Factor: 105.9

Description:

Some of the first steps of designing new products is by identifying the weak points and problem areas of the existing parts and figuring out how to improve and fix them. In the case of the Ford 5R110W torque converter, the main factory components are the weak points. The impeller and turbine being made of thinner steel, and the lack of furnace brazing on the turbine, leaves these parts prone to breakage and catastrophic converter failures.

Rather than try to put a bandage on these weaknesses, Goerend sets the stock Ford torque converters aside and looked to the stronger, more reliable Allison 1000 torque converter. Using the Allison 1000 furnace brazed turbine and impeller, Goerend is able to produce the highest strength 5R110W torque converter.
