best bang for buck converter
looking to see what everyones thoughts or preferences were on converters....looking for something around 3600 range for behind my 383LT motor..
was looking at the yank ss3600's but wondering what else is out there
this is a 98% street driven car which knock on wood will someday see track use....lets hear opinion

Ptc is my recommendation for budget minded people. If you're willing to spend a little more I generally recommend yank and circle d, mostly because I have direct experience with those 3 companies.

They are not as well known as some of the other companies but Revmax gets excellent reviews. I have a "level 3" 3200 stall in my H/C 94 firehawk and its been in for 15k, never skipped a beat and feels great, not sloppy at all. Was about $440 IIRC. They have a "level 5" converter that they claim can handle 1500 hp for $725.
I have had great results with my Revmax converter and with so many positive reviews that I have seen they are worth a look.

All the names listed above are good.
I would avoid TCI converters and generally anything under $450.
Quality converters give you more band for your buck than any other upgrade.

Can't go wrong with a solid FTI converter either.

No intentions on going cheap...just not sure which would be best for me if I have to buy a new one and a nice low mile one doesn't pop up....I see every where's from 800-1300 for these so it's kinda an important decision for me when dripping more coin on my car but a converter is pretty much all that's left for the time being

i'm deff leaning towards either a yank ss3600 or a circle d because those seemto be the 2 companies that have the best rep out there....but heres the thing and dont flame me for askin this.....do any of our sponsors or elsewhere that you guys know of offer a military discount or forum discount...or anyone running any kind of sale or special....i'm planning on ordering one within the next 2 weeks so i can start getting my ride back together before summer

Well after research it seems from what I can tell between yank,circle d, and fti all appear in the most part to be pretty equal for what I need so it's gonna have to come down to the price aspect so it looks like I'll be going with the fti and able to use the difference to revamp my cooler system for a lil more confidence with the added heat this will produce

Been happy with my Fti converter. Gonna be pulling it next week and sending back for a restall. I think after talking to troy at fti that the car needs a little higher converter since the 102 fast swap. Guess when I call next week I'll ask if there is different length lokar dipsticks.
