Definately post up some results i'm interested in seeing how they perform. I keep the old you get what you pay for motto in mind but don't live by it. Perfect example lpp/ebay headers lots of people running both without problems.

Yea the only differance is ones an exhaust part that simply bolts up the other is part of your transmission. Dunno my fuddle was only a 100-150 more and even though I dont race its held up just fine. Going on over a year and I even installed it myself w/ a buddy

Right I understand what your saying when you deal anything with the drivetrain you don't want/need shotty parts. I mean I have the wait and see outlook on these stalls. Fom a business side maybe they lower there price to introduce there product into a target audience;this may or may not mean they lowered the quality as well.

Most will tell you to go with higher priced converters, not bc of some unseen quality issue, its bc higher priced converters have billet fronts and way bigger lockup clutches. This is important for street driven cars that use the lock-up clutch daily. I hate to say it but the cheaper converters do pretty damn good at the track, I know bc I used to run a non-billet Edge converter. Most of the cheaper converters are reman 4 cyl converters, to fully explain this read this thread:

This is a standard 4 cyl core redone to stall higher with an LS adapter ring welded on. Companies have been doing this for a while now. Its nothing new guys. Read the link I posted earlier in this thread then compare $500 and less converters and you will see they are all identical. Compare $700 plus converters and you will see that most if not all are solid billet fronts. Thats the main difference in design/manufacturing/price.
