X8 Torque Converter

Actual converter may vary, image for illustration purposes only.

In ProTorque’s product line, the X8 is the “little brother” to its record-setting U9 converters which have shown tremendous proficiency in classes such as Ultra Street lately. The X8 is geared towards a larger sportsman-style market, including NHRA classes such as Factory Stock Showdown, Stock, Super Stock, Comp Eliminator, Top Dragster, Top Sportsman, and more. Able to support over 2,000+ horsepower, the X8 is also perfectly suited for cars in the 600-horsepower range and everything in between.

Throughout the 2022 season, Barton made five final-round appearances and captured three national event wins at the NHRA Thunder Valley Nationals, the prestigious U.S. Nationals in Indianapolis, and the NHRA Nationals in Pennsylvania.

High performance integral strengthening struts provide extra support in critical areas to prevent flexing or ballooning and are fully radiused to prevent stress risers.
