I would think they are re-selling someone else's converters, but i could be wrong. How much $$, Vinci has always been kind of high. If you want a good converter in Fl, there is an excellent shop in Deland (Forced tech.), several of the FL f-body guys have started using them and they are great.

Vinci has been in business for a long time and he knows exactly what he is doing. I have been to his shop many times and always had something impressive. Any work he does on a car is worth the extra just from his expertise IMHO.

No website for forced tech. If you want to talk to them pm me and I'll give you the number and the contact info. They are well known around the racing community. We hooked up w/ them through a friend that recently won the drag radial class at the U.S. street natls. Greg from WCR aka "Chevpower" on here and Need2speed.com has been having on on-going dialogue w/ them and started using their converters and having them re-stall other brands. They just did my Yank SS3200 and I couldn't be happier.
