Default Revmax stage 3 or FTI econo converter

After comparing the two on paper, to me theres not much difference besides the name and color. This is just my DD, so im not looking to get a billet converter, just something that can take some punishment on the street. ive read reveiws on the revmax but havent seen much on the FTI econo converter. Anyone have any input on it? There both so close in price i cant make up my mind, i just need a nudge in a direction so i can get my car back on the road where she belongs. BTW its being paired with a FTI th400 foward manual valve bodied tranny. Looking at a 3600 or 3800 stall.

I'd choose FTI out of the two.

I'd take fti, their converters have gone in 9 sec cars and Greg is an awesome guy to deal with.

I know FTI's sr and sst converters are great but i cant find anyone that has used the economy converter. i believe they can handle between 450-500 hp but im not certain. anyone one know if they have torrington bearings?
