Know Your Build: Performance vs. Heavy-Duty
Performance: A 6L80/90 “performance” build typically means changing to a smaller diameter converter for a higher stall speed (ex. dropping from a stock-size 300mm to 265 or 258mm).
Heavy Duty: An upgraded 6L80/90 300mm converter is better described as a “heavy-duty” build because there’s no change in size for a higher stall speed. You’re just swapping key OE components for much stronger, more durable parts.
Sonnax offers top-quality converter upgrades for both performance and heavy-duty 6L80, 6L90 applications. Search this chart for the converter kit that fits your needs.
