I will be calling someone at Revmax tomorrow for a price and recommendation, but I must say ,the web site needs some work. I did all the work sheet and the calculator said they don't have anything for me ,LOL. If a stage 4 billet converter is truly 499.00 for a 2004R,they will probably get my money tomorrow!

Just got off the phone with Tom at Revmax, and he was very helpful and explained a lot of things I wanted to understand about converter differences and function.
Im on a budget so we decided on a stage 3 nitrous 9.5" converter . I am looking forward to seeing what an efficient converter to going to do for my set up. 11s here I come!!!

Honestly I thought revmax was some type of ebay knockoff converter (no offense). But after reading lots of good reviews from them and also knowing they are a sponser for ls1tech, I may go this route.

I'm thinking about the 4k stall but may wait untill a sale happens

I just wanted to add to this and say that i purchased a converter from revmax about 3 yrs ago. Well last year i had my trans redone and figured i would get my converter freshened up. Everyone on YB was saying send it to PTC. They will get you more out of it.
Long story short, I sent it to them. They cut it open and then called to ask me where i bought this converter from. I told them revmax, why? I was waiting for this line of B/S saying it couldnt be rebuilt. Instead they said "It looks like some nice stuff" Pretty much sealed it back up and charged me 350.00..lol

EDIT: Ran 9.30's before, Ran 9.30's after

Quick update.
Went to the track and got a new pb on mph.
Revmax got this one perfect. I got a shift extension of 1000rpm between shifts.!

Car kept going dead rich off the line so don't look at my 60ft or e.t . Lol.

Finally hit the track with my 4.8 gto.

Went 143.9mph at 4000+ D.A


E.t was horrible as I was having issues going extremely rich on the launch and it wouldnt start pulling till about the 100ft mark.
I will be getting it leaned out on the lower rpm and trying it again at the track.
Im sure it still has 1 more mph or so in it.


2008 4.8
Stock 799 heads
