I ran nitrous on my stock converter for 2 years until my tranny lost 3rd, so i put a fuddle 3,600 in with my new tranny, love the converter but still havent had better times than my stock one on the bottle, motor passes picked up 6-7 tenths. I always spray off the line with no controller, like hard hit and 60fts.
