Revmaxx Unless someone tells me otherwise I'm going to assume you get what you pay for, but Anyone try it? If so how did you like it ? 100% positive feedback but I know that dont always tell the story

Can't see the link at work, but if it's one of the ones that sells for around $280.00, a number of moderate power level guys are running them with no problems. I considered this route but ended up talking to Circle-D and felt better spending about $650.00 in the spring. Yes, you get what you pay for. Sometimes you get lesser quality friction materials in cheaper converters that will come apart and it goes everywhere in the trans... which isn't good.

Yes. My brother in law (Kall on this site) bought a 3600 stall from Revmaxx. So far, it has worked flawlessly. His car ran 13.20s at the 2010 ltxshoout with nothing more than longtubes, CAI, and the Revmaxx stall. For comparison sake, his car went 14.60s when it was bone stock. I say thumbs up for Revmaxx In fact, based on that experience, I plan to purchase a Revmaxx converter for my 3rd gen LT1 project.

RevMaxx- that was it. Looked somewhat better than average rebuilt schwag, but I'm holding out for Circle-D. Just my personal choice. Some folks are running the RevMaxx units with no problems, time will tell how good they are after a few years.

Looks like a cheap *** 4 cylinder converter with an adapter ring welded. I got a Yank and it was well worth it.

I've got one! Really nice stall. Alot better then the monster stall I used to have. I bought a 3200 Stall from them. Good people to talk. I figured they know what their doing since a lot of people put them in their turbo diesels! lol Their good especially if you don't want to blow all your $$$$$.

I love mine, call and talk to them. They are great to work with and they will explain why they are cheaper and give you the costs for the upgrades and I recommend you do them. I highly recommed you call them and not order over internet because they will taylor to your setup and offer the upgrades. You will be shocked how good these are and why they are affordable!

Once you buy the upgrades from them you're in the $450-$500.00 range. That's why I decided to spend another $150.00 and go Circle-D 245mm.

Beat me to it. You could check out ptc if you don't wanna spend yank money. I hear alot of guys have good things to say about them.

A buddy just told me he has a Yank 3200 for $350. I just need to see how much Circle D will charge me to re stall it
