i had one in my car for 4 years.
i did pick up a consistant .05 and 1mph when i switched to a yank.
not bad for a 250 dollar converter if you ask me.

Ive got one...

T400 with brake.
1.3 60's leaving off the brake.

Another friend of mine has a glide in his LS1 Wagon.

Its been 1.32 flashing the converter from 1500 rpms.

Good verter for the money. I paid about $500 for mine. Its a T400 Nitrous stall from them.

I have a PTC and it's great. No problems from the convertor itself. I broke a tranny in overdrive and broke the lock-up clutch and turbine in the convertor from the resulting shutter. PTC replaced all internals of the convertor and shipped it back in about a week. Cost me about 130 bucks.
