Midwest is a cheaper converter and you'll pay for what you get. The fastest SI car runs a TCI4400, but most believe he'd be even faster on a Yank TP4400. I'd run a TCI before a Midwest, buy I DO run a Yank for many reasons. Good luck bro.

Don't forget about that GP going on bro. See what Tom can do. I mean they ARE hooking you up on everything else. Just mention the GP price and say "whatever you can do" don't kill em'.

Midwest isn't cheaper. About the same. FWIW, from experience i'd get a midwest.

I love my Yank, oh wait you didn't ask about yank, and their C/S is second to everyone. So let me STFU.
Damn I just bashed myself.
I have used Midwest before. Their converter isn't built as good as my Yank is.
MY TA HAS NEVER ONCE SPUN THE TIRES AT THE TRACK, so this is a good comparision.
HP='s 340 peak with a midwest 3700 stall that cost 670 dollars.
60ft = 1.78
1/8th mile = 8.20
1/8 mph = 84.8
1/4 mile = 12.79
1/4 = 110

360 RWHP Peak, and no gains in HP until 5500 RPM's (I did a exhaust change)
Yank 3600 nitrous stall converter
60 ft = 1.545
1/8th mile = 7.445
1/8th mph = 90
1/4 = 11.75
1/4 mp = 114.7

That is a huge difference.
And like I said I never spin my MT ET DRAG SLICKS.
I have seen many good results and the CS is top notch with the TCI converters.
I would put my money where the best results are found and it seems TCI has the upper hand in that in comparision.

Note, I really enjoyed my midwest converter and it ran really well on the juice.
Driveability was great. The Yank was 300 dollars more, and if you can get a midwest converter cheep, and you dont have to be the fastest guy in the world then the midwest should be a HUGE improvement over stock.

I've seen better results from TCI.

I Haven't seen anyone run a Midwest of 4000 or higher so I don't know how they perform. Therefore I would go with the TCI because their are fast people with the TCI.

My YTP 4200 was awesome.
