Let me ask you guys....do you want a convertor to rev to the midrange or peak power and torque...so that you can take advantage of the hp & torque at the launch. I would think so. I am not going to be using slicks just drag radials. Probably a 3600 or 4000rpm convertor. Trying to plan now, Is this right?

Vigilante here. Free stall upgrade and a warranty doesn't get any better then that.

Yank and Cicle d are considered by many to be the best 2

Yank pretty much makes a set converter and circle d offers options to push theirs over $1,000 that being said I dont know if their any better but I know the yank ones are of quality.

I plan on buying a yank converter when I get around to it

Sometimes it not just who makes the best converter, but customer service goes a long way with whom I do business with.

If I pick up the phone and have a question, I expect a answer.
