You're going to hear nothing but good about all three of those. Your best bet is to call each company and talk to them. See what they recommend and go from there. I've run Yank and Circle D and highly recommend both. I voted Circle D though simply because that's what's in my car!

I run a 4000 edge racing stall. my tuner said my coverter laid down better numbers than any other car with similar set ups that hes done. they are out of california and the guy is very smart, you give the hp ond torque numbers off your car and he builds them custom to those numbers. he uses only the best parts in them and i think they only like 5 or 6 hundred bucks. just google edge racing and get the number and call the guy. he wont let you down.

I vote Circle D all the way! I had thier 258mm in my cammed silverado and woke it up big time. The converter drove really good on the street as a daily driver. Awesome customer service also! +1 Circle D

I voted Circle D Specialties because of my own personal experiences and the positive results we have acheived along with the best customer service in the business. I have had the opportunity to run pretty much every brand stall converter except FTI. We have 4 - 4th Gen Camaros in the family and will only Circle D Specialty converters in them. It's a no brainer for us.

Guys, I got a situation. I bought a converter but I don't know who made it. It's a medium blue in color and it has the #'s 3705K , e07 on it. Been searching the web for a manufacturer but no luck. The quality is very good - so I know it's not some bargain basement unit. Has machined mounting feet on it. I'll try to get a picture up asap. Thanks for your help with this.
