I bet Circle D can build you an optimized converter for your setup.

Just as good, better than some you have listed. Give them a call and see if you like what they have to offer.

I've had great experience with FTI thus far, and have a good history with a PTC nitrous converter in the past. I voted FTI, but, in reality, all the first 3 would build you an excellent "custom spec" converter. Not that Vig or TCI is bad, but I would imagine PTC, FTI, Neil Chance, and also Circle D will perform better if you are willing to pay the $$$ for a custom converter.

I bought the Eliminator 3600 for my car. It is a beautiful piece! And since you're local to me, it was a no brainer to go with you guys. Out of curiousity, will this stay together behind 1,000BHP? Originally, I was only planning on around 700HP when I purchased it, but my plans changed lol. Thanks.

The picking up the phone and answering is such a rare action in the car scene lol. Chris replies back by e-mail very quick, and even have gotten e-mails from him during their off hours.
