Default FTI converters
I hear nothing but good around here but I also see prices ranging from $309-$600+ for an FTI 3200 converter. I am about to purchase the FTI 3200 Street brawler for my "06 Tahoe. It is stock with a custom tune so I am not looking for a hardcore race converter just something to liven it up a bit. Is there anything wrong with this converter?

Thanks.

You can't go wrong with Greg and the guys over at FTI. They are the only converter company I will use in any of my personal vehicles.

Another +1 for FTI here. The price range you see is for billet vs non-billet units and other options

FTI, Yank, Edge, VIG are all good and you cannot go wrong. I personally went with Yank since they were the first to brain wash me on all my cars lol

+ 1 for FTI. I drove up to Deland to pick up my 3500. Greg showed me the whole shop, and in the office all I saw were pictures of pro-mods popping wheelies. I knew I had come to the right place. This thing has lasted +4 years of abuse in a daily driver.

I ran an ATI converter for a while, had someone else go through it and increase the stall speed and it was never so screwed up. Talked to Greg at FTI, sent it over to them. The made it right again and it has never worked better. FTI for the win!

Just threw the 3200 street brawler in with my newly rebuilt Trans and it is by far the best mod I've done so far. Now it's time for tires because it like a burn out machine now. Lol

FTI all the way!!!!
