People follow trends! On this forum Yank and Vigilante are commonly thought of as the only decent choices in converters. If you do some searching you can probably find a group that things Midwest are the ****.

On this forum you will find 10 page threads about how Yank and Vig suck also. It's just personal preference/experience.

We have ran Midwest Racing Converters since day one of them getting into the LS market. We couldn't be happier. Great products and customer service.

I've used Midwest in the past, their customer service and support is top notch from my experience. My first converter failed from a mistake of mine, but the second suffered a sprag failure. It was probably a freak thing, but I did go with another brand after that. I will say though, there are differences internally when you open them up. You get what you pay for. I was happy with them while I had them, but I wouldn't use them in a high powered or FI/Nitrous set-up IMHO.

Look at the cars in my sig. You have to use the correct converter/parts for your application. I wouldn't use any companies $400 converters in these...

i had a midwest for a while, had no complaints about the converter at all, was a 3500 2.2, drove great on the street. stepped up to a 4000 yank and my ets/trap speed have not improved. (but i have only put about 6-8 passes on the yank so i may need more time to experiment with it)
