Best brand of torque converter?

bottom line - big enough companies can afford to eat the cost of units failing *yours or theirs*. TCI probably is a big company, and moves alot of product. So whats a couple of failed units, rebuild them, and resell them to a multi-million dollar/month business.
I can see where joe bum building him in his garage,might cough at the money situation, but a real company would brush it off. Satisfy one customer who they know was dead wrong, will bring them lots of glory on the net, which sells lots of product.
how big is yank anyways? They can't afford a secretary for $6/hr?

I brought that fact to Mike's attention (he was NOT happy). He told me "That the web page is wrong. I do not know who changed it but that is wrong" He told me that he would change the web page data. Mike went on to say that the PT line of converter should only be used with rear gears that are 3.73 and numerically higher.
Yank (Mike) also told me that efficiency of the PT line of converters would be “dismal” when used with 2.73 and 3.23 gears. I agree with that statement.

Now this still doesn't help identify the failure but it does help support the claim as reasonable if using a truely mild cam.
