Subscribing. I am looking at getting one at the first of the year. I've heard nothing but good so far, and they have already answered a bunch of questions that I've had. Just interested in reading some of the feedback.

There are several good converter companys out there, but it would be difficult to find a converter builder that provided better quality, service and price than Circle D Specilaties.

We run them in 3 of our street/race cars.

Circle D converters work well, we've used a bunch of them. If you have a problem with your a4 after the converter install then you most likely either had a problem prior to the converter, didn't add enough fluid back after the converter install, or didn't run a tranny cooler with the converter install.

4c here and love it.. A converter makes you faster so its obviously going to strain the trans and everything else more. If it breaks build it bigger.. otherwise stay stock. Basically just adding the converter isnt going to break something that wasnt already on its way out. get a cooler, watch your fluid, grab some drag tires and hang on!

I have run two Circle D converters a 4C+ and a 2C. Both were the best modifications that I made on my build. No trans problems either time with the converter swap.
