Default whats the best converter for roll races?

Just races from say 50mph to 150mph.

Brand and model thats best for my set up. I'm looking for the best efficiency as far as power loss goes from slippage.

Thanks.

Yank Pro Thruster 4000 will be the best from a roll assuming you don't spray it.

Damn, I should have said then that I'm installing a 300 DP pretty soon.

So which would be best in this case,

Thanks.

With 300 Direct port of nitrous you'll be pushing 750+ HP; you need a custom converter not an off-the-shelf converter for 450 HP motor.

the pt4200 i had in my a4 was sick on the highway, with just bolt ons i pulled 03 cobras from 50-130+ it was SICK. with a 436 you shouldn't have much problem pulling most things you race on the highway. with a 300 shot i'd say something like a PYE 3600 from yank.

OK, where do I get a custom converter?

What type and size should I get? Specifics would be good so I know what to tell them.

neal chance makes some bad *** converters, with that kind of power the 4l60e is gonna be hard to keep together for to long, especially running at those speeds.
