What are you trying to do?
Are you arguing with those people using concrete facts and data?
You are being rediculous.

A 1.68 with a 3600. Still average short time.. DA?

So still my point stands 2 out of a large handful have cut average short times. Another 150$ or so and you are cutting awesome short times.

2500 d.a

also this is with 28x9 slicks, which lowers my 3.46 gearing quite a bit,with race weight of about 3700lbs....

btw, i paid 350$ for the converter

I cut a 1.993 60 ft on street tires the only time I went to track with my LT1.. I think that is very respectible.. It was like 40 degrees out and I had the tires at 32psi.. Didnt mess with anything.. Just turned the tires over once and then launched off idle.. Made 4 passes that night and cut 2.08,1.99,2.38 (tried launching a little different) and a 1.993.. I was very happy since it was my 1st time at the track with that car and 1st time running a Auto at the track as well.. Are these good 60' times? I would say no in general but for me on stock wheels and street tires they are good times..

I look at it this way.. I ran a 13.66 in my LT1 with a 3200 converter and a airfoil being the only aftermarket mods.. That was on a 1.993 60'. I ran a 13.8 with that 2.08 60'. If I can cut a 1.6 60' with drag radials then I should be pretty damn close to a 12 second pass in a pretty much stock LT1.. That would be really impressive.

I was thinking of doing a LS1 motor swap in my 95 because I was very unsattisfied with the LT1 but after getting this converter and the way it woke up my car I decided to keep it a LT1 because it is just 2 much fun. The best 260.00 mod I ever did for any of my cars..

I hate to say it, but I have never in my time on this board watched anyone make more useless posts than you have. I think I speak for anyone who wants to get useful information about RevMax converters... let people who actually have experience with the product share information about that experience. Otherwise, you're just noise.

Hey goofball, if you cant read between the lines you aren't very bright. Let me put it in kindergarten terms for you...... THAT CONVERTER MATCHES THE COLOR SIZE SHAPE AND DIMENSION OF A YANK SS SERIES CONVERTER. Happy now? That post was not knocking revmax, I'm saying that how in the hell would revmax owners in this thread know that? I actually own a Yank converter so my observations are relevant. I know what a Yank SS looks like. Your poston the other hand is useless. Good day.

That thought crossed my mind too. Looking at the revmax site it costs about what a yank does.

That cat may never be let out of the bag officially, but im no fool. What you are holding was the same thing I once held.........I mean how many billet front manufacturers can there be....really. I will say though that Yank does not manufacture their billet fronts. They used to. Dave told me that keeping the CNCs running and keeping employees to run them got to be too much of a headache so he ****-canned the whole deal. They sub out their main parts, then he does final assembly by hand at his shop. I suppose the same shop that does his fronts could do revmaxs but the same color and everything? Seems fishy. But either way it doesnt matter, it looks to be a top notch converter and its priced accordingly IMO.

Better go back and edit that post... because nowhere does it say "Yank." Therefore, it doesn't help RevMax owners or prospective purchasers. Also, if the reader knew enough to "read between the lines," he already knew it was a Yank, making the post, again... you guessed it: useless.

You don't have to put anything in kindergarten terms for me. All you have to do is stop making useless posts that don't contribute anything to thread's topic.

its actually funny how VERY simular my revmax lools to the Yanks on the outside. if the billet is the same, then so far, its a good purchase, regardless of where the billet cover came from. only time will tell.

The price difference you are refering to is their non-billet $230 and their billet $725. Two completely different converter models. They do the bait and switch on ebay where the profile picture is a billet but thats not what you actually receive.

Yeah I know just that on there website they have my Stage 3 converter for 299.99 and I won it on a Ebay auction for 200.00. Maybe they do the same things with there Billet ones which are listed for 725.00 but they might have a Best Offer auction on Ebay for cheaper as well. I think my auction was listed at 269.99 OBO and I sent them my offer and they accepted it.. So they even listed it on ebay for 30.00 cheap then they did on there website.. That was for my auction..

Not what I was referring to, but point taken.
