Default Anyone used this brand of converter?

I'm looking to buy a stall converter in the next month or so and was wondering if anyone has ever used or known anyone to use this company... http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-3...QQcmdZViewItem

I know a lot of people are going to say...you get what you pay for and recommend yank and the like..and I couldn't agree more but I was honestly just wondering.

Never used that converter, but I've ordered stuff from that place b/f and was satisfied. It got here quick and seems to be decent quality stuff esepecially for the price.

If its a 12" I'd stay away from it b/c its prolly just a restalled stocker, but if its a 9.5" it might actually be a decent piece and its really not that cheap. Just make sure if you do get it you get one with 30 splines not 27.

I would look into Yank Performance Stalls, CircleD or Edge. Yank is my first choice being tons of guys run them with amazing results.

I went with circleD, havent gotten to run it yet but I went throught tons of research, and talked to fti, yank, precision, and fti before making my decision. Find a company you like and feel comfortable with and knowing that they'll be there every step of the way even if things go south.

Wow thanks for the quick responses guys.

1badzee - I will look into them...thanks.

My95Z - First off good call on the spline count. I didn't pay any attention to that. Also thanks for the info on the 12" vs. 9.5". I noticed they have a separate listing for ls1 converters - 30 spline and 9.5"...is that what I'd need to order although it says for 98+ and ls1. A little confused on that one...

Elliott - I definitely agree as far as the tried and trusted brand names but I was just wondering if anyone had actually used this brand and if they liked it. By the way how do you like the SS3600? That is in all honesty what I was planning on going with...

355z28 - good call. thanks man.

I'm a proud owner of Yank converters.. I personally wouldn't buy something from a company I've never heard of though.. or atleast haven't heard amazing things of yet.

Hopefully somebody has one and can give you an opinion though

Good luck!

The LS1 converter won't work, they are totally different than the older style. You just need a 30 spline converter that is not for the LSX. If I were you I'd make sure its a lock up too, so it doesn't hurt you mpgs highway.
