Default Freakshow Converters

Has anyone here used a freakshow converter on their 800+ hp build? Most people that I know run PTC, or Micke, but I'm not afraid to try something new if people seem to have decent reviews. The price is definitely hard to beat.

Well I got tired of waiting for responses and bought his billet converter. I'm excited to try it out. I love getting a great product for an affoldable price and look forward to (hopefully) leaving some positive feedback.

The guy was nice as could be on the phone and stands behind his product. He says if it slips too much or isn't stalled properly that he would fix it. He also said 2 yr warranty.

I have thought about using them. I have heard mixed reviews some guys with 60e's have had problems but others with th400 and glides haven't... so idk. I am interested in your results of it.
