TCi 10in AOD Street Fighter Torque Converter 432800 ??

was way off for the combo... ended up laying the fins over on the stator.

And yet you say that it was “way off for the combo“. That’s like expecting a 7.5” rear to not blow up behind a 500 ft/lb sidestep with slicks.
if the combo was way beyond the capacity of the converter...how is it the converters mfg fault?

It was a tci outlaw X converter built for the combo... it just wasnt right.

Personally, I'd call FTI converters. I spoke personally with the owner, we discussed my camshaft, compression, gearing, vehicle weight, and intended purpose for my car. He pointed me in the right direction suggested a great converter and I never had a problem. https://ftiperformance.com/
