Most converters, I would say 95% of them available today, are re-manufactured stalls from lesser powered vehicles. That is the easiest and most cost efficient way to hi-stall your LS1.
JNorris was asking for facts to back up the statements made. I've read the facts when fuddle first came to this board, they were answers to questions I asked. I never said there was anything wrong with fuddles converters, I was simply saying there were facts out there to back up the statement, I can't find them, but they were here at one time. Thats my only point.
