My new TC for the TH350 swap got here this morning and got me wondering what you guys run. I decided not to go with any of the names you hear on here all day and try something different but proven in a few cars I know.

So what are you using and whats your best 60ft.

Got my converter from Andre at Edge in the 69' nothing but greats things, but I also have a Yank in the 93 and so far i'd call it a tie between both companies in terms of customer service and reliability.

Pro-Torque makes great converters also from what i've heard.

I have VIG 4400 and i LOVE it. Runs very cool also. Ran a big cooler just to play it safe but before i got the cooler i tried it without and it never got hot. I hope to have some 60' times here thurs if it dosnt rain!

Mines a 9.5" BTE. Its the exact same converter Kyle Kline has in his Z. His street car has been 9.20s@147ish. He's the one that won Mod PA at the Shootout and hooked me up with his guy.

Custom 10" spragless Trans-Spec 3700 stall nitrous converter. Only track time I have with this setup it was cutting best of 1.8's while spinning the **** out of the ET drags past the 60' and my 3.23 gearing does not help one bit getting out of the hole. The next day we came to the realization that the simplest thing was the problem, High high tire pressure. This all renders my post useless, but they build a lot of converters for rail cars and such. When is your car going to be up and running with the TH350 Mike?

I dunno. Depends when the short block is gonna be done. I have all the stuff to swap the trans now. Just wanted to do the motor and trans all at once.

I have a 3800stall Edge and 1.53 60ft times BUT if it were building a track car I would probably do an 8" ATI

I plan to get an ATI Treemaster for my build. I have heard nothing but good things about them both on the track and the street.

Don't see them too often on LT1s for some reason.

8" Coan 5,000 in my TH400.

That is the same converter I said I would get for a track car. Far as I know they don't make a lockup with is really nice for a true street car.
I know Rick Abare runs one, as do Mike Harris and Pat Gish so I would say they are popular where they are appropriate.
I would not go putting one in a primarily street car that sees track time though, a primarily track car that sees some street time sure.

I really like the ATI MRT 8" converters. That's what I have in Gump. I cut three 1.34 sixty foot times in a row last Sunday (approx. 400 RWHP and 3250 lbs).

ATI 8" Treemaster 4200 non-lockup here. It's a little tight for my low torque 350; best 60' is 1.46 at 3800 lb race weight. It flashes to 4200 on the launch.
Mike Harris runs the same one behind his solid roller 383; best 60' of 1.34, also at 3800 lbs. His motor flashes it to 5000-5200.
You may be surprised at how snappy these little 8" converters feel in driving around. Much better than a 9.5" 4200 stall.
