Theirs a few on here with them including me. Just search for revmax and it'll bring up a few threads. I've read alot of good reviews on them. Mine just got installed so I haven't had experience with it yet....I'm not running 500+hp so I thought their budget stage 3 (also on sale at the time) was a good deal. With that said...If my plans were to reach 500+hp...or track it with alot of launching...I would've went with a yank..ptc...vig..but mines just a mean street machine. So I didn't see the need to spend 900$ on a 600+hp rated converter.

I just did a search for "Revmax converter" in the Trans section and there are 97 threads. It certainly has some very happy customers. It is a high quality converters and you would be happy with it.

If you want expert advice, call one of the trans sponsors like 4L80E expert Jake's Performance and ask what they would suggest. (I do think they have a preferred brand now.)

While I currently have a Yank and am happy with it, I would personally consider a CircleD due to their (Chris) daily involvement in this forum.

I ran a Revmax in my 95 LT1 car. Before the 3200 converter my car went 13.7@100 and after with nothing else it went 13.4@101. Not bad. I cut @ 1.99 60' when I went 13.7 and a 1.92 60' when I went 13.4. Both were on the same street tires and aside from the converter the car was stock. I spent less then 300.00 on the Converter shipped and it truly made my car a 100 times more fun to drive.

They also have great customer service. Everytime I had or have a question I just call them up and they will answer it for me. They always answer the phone and will get back to you if you leave a message. They take the time to help you build a proper converter for what you want to do on your car as well.

That's Awesome!! I am going to call them on my lunch break and order one I think.
I have been reading posts on torque converters on here for 3 days, and I am going to go with Revmax.

I called them a week or so ago and had to leave a message. By 9 the next morning, Frank from Revmax was calling me back to answer all my questions and get me going in the right direction. I haven't made a purchase from them yet, but if their products are anything like their attitude on customer service, they must sell some awesome parts.

Waiting on my TH350 to come back from the builder. Then my cage install, then suspension install, the list goes on. I'm in no real hurry. Just swapping from a T56 to go faster.

OK, that's for next Saturday. Plenty of time on Sunday to install a converter.
