Default which converter

I am going to buy a 4000 stall converter but i am unsure which brand makes the best one. Yank and Fuddle seem to be the best two brands. Which one should I get?

They're both good, I have Yank and love it... Just a suggestion though. I see you have a TRex cam. I would get something a little looser than 4000. You'd be a lot happier with the results of something like a Yank PT 4400 because when it comes to the TRex you really want the RPMs up there where it makes it's best power. I would even suggest something looser than 4400, but I don't wanna scare you. lol I have the Yank PT 4200 BTW.

monica, apparently you missed the "next - tnt f2 kit" in his sig. get much more stall than 4k with the juice and you'll blow right through that stall.

i vote a 4k nitrous-minded converter, as it will perform well n/a, and REALLY well on the bottle. i have the cheapo fuddle converter and it has worked flawlessly thus far (10k and ~200 passes). if you go fuddle, get the top of the line n2o converter, you won't be disappointed.

Oh ****, I sure did. I stopped when I got to the TRex. lol But then I wouldn't recommend the TRex for spray either....
BUUUUT, yeah, you're definitely right about stall choice if he's just GOT to put spray on there.

I'm waiting on a 4000 2.4 STR from Fuddle. John was very helpful in picking the right converter.

I've seen someone run nitrous with the TRex and I wasn't impressed. Of course, it depends on how much spray a person was putting on the car... I'm waiting for someone to try the Ms4 with nitrous because I want to know if it likes it. If so, I might have to throw a kit on my car.

I have a Fuddle so I will suggest it. Not knocking Yank but I decided on the Fuddle for the price and warranty. So far so good

Precision Industries Vigilante is right there with Yank, and is a matter of opinion as to which is best. I have seen good examples of both over the years. If you do an extended search on these two, you will find this to be true.
