Default raptor converters

im looking to get a converter and i found the super street raptor converter. since im looking to spray the car very soon i was going to get the super street raptor 2x(2800 stall). i was just wondering how good are these converters? do any of you guys use them? do they flash any higher then what they are rated at?

thank you

i have had, a TCI, Yank, Vig, and another Yank. The TCI was my first converter and it was a 3k stall, i bought a yank ss4k and the clutch burnt up in 600 miles. i restalled my tci to a 4k and ran on it forever. put my current set up in there and the vig 3600 went in and it was actin stupid right out of the box. i was convinced to get a yank ss3600 and havent had any problems out of it yet. I still have the good tci. so from my experience i would buy a tci or yank, preferably tci cause i had zero issues with it. but this current yank i havent had trouble with either. wanna buy my tci lol?

I ran a Raptor 4l60e and it performed very well...until the 3-4 clutch pack burned in less than 2k miles. I also used their 2800 stall 9 x 11 spaceship converter. It performed ok but it was heavy and a 2800 Vig soon replaced it.
Yank, Edge or P.I., 3 good choices among many others.
