Default Who has a Revmaxx Converter please post your experience

Since the last thread really got off track I decided to start another for the people who might be interested in getting a Revmaxx Converter. Please only post if you have a revmaxx or have dealt with them in the past.. Thanks..

I have a 3200 for my 95 Firehawk. Won it on ebay for 200.00 and added another year warrenty for 20.00. With shipping it came to 259.55. Installed it back in April this year and since have put close to 4000 miles on it. Have ran it 8 times down the 1/4 track and got a best of a 13.66@100.5 mph with a 1.993 60' on street tires. That was the 1st and only time I have ever ran that car at the track and the 1st time I ran a Auto at the track..The only other aftermarket mod I have is a Airfoil. I also did a B&M shift improver at the time of Converter install as well. The only regret is that I didnt go with my gut and get a 3600 stall. The car has been a blast to drive since the Converter install. Would definatly recomend to anyone looking for a converter for there LT1.

Ohh so you run at sea level. A stock lt1 should run 13.8 or so at sea level. So you gained a little over a tenth probably

Well, I've seen both threads about that, and all I have to say is if it works then go for it. And it's obviously is working for you.

Smile Love Mine

I have a 3600 revmax that I bought July of 2010 and love it. I ran mine at the LTx Shootout in Sept at Beech Bend in KY and with a full weight, bone stock lt1 (bolt on's only) and DR's on stock wheels. I ran and 13.22 at 100. I would highly recommed this converter to anyone. There are 2 upgrades that the offer(sprauge and plate) and I recommend both. They are great to deal with and with great support( they even called me to make sure I liked it and was happy). Mine even broke the factory flexplate and had to upgrade mine after first few passes. It is worth every penny and will bring your car to life, remember you have to have an external trans cooler to run one, not an option. Buy one!

Glad to see I wasnt the only one who thought that was a little much. With a 6 speed I have seen them go 13.8 Stock. Most Auto's I see go 14.3-13.9 bone stock..

Thats a pretty good time. My LS1 with bolt ons went 13.1..

I have not bought an external trans cooler yet. So far so good. I think I will call Revmaxx tomorrow just to double check what you are saying. If they suggest me to get one as well then I will pick one up.
