I had one on an LS1. It was spec'd for a 3200 but drove a little loose until I added 3.73s. I felt like it could have been a little tighter around town. It could cut 1.70s in 90 degree heat on a cam only LS. Overall it was a decent converter. About 5k after installing it I had a thrust bearing failure. Coincidence?

I have 3.73s in the back of the LT1 as well and have a 306 type cam in it so going 3800 not worried about how it drives on the street I'll deal with that MPG isn't an issue lol

I have a edge converter, but I have not installed it yet. I can say that Andre the owner is great to deal with and the converter looks great,but that is about all I know.

Most people will tell you that you get what you pay for, and many cheaper stalls will not perform consistantly/correctly as advertised in many cases and many times wont be as comfortable/streetable.

It's hard to find any bad words about Yank, Circle D, and Vigilante.

I've done a lot of research and will personally be going with a Yank SS converter in my car...
