I heard its a Good Brand Have any one tried there Converters?

 

i havnt heard much about them. I have a performabuilt it would take alot to get me to buy from someone else.

 

I've been using one for three years and I LOVE it! I went from mid 1.90s in the 60' down to low 1.60s with a best of 1.61. I also gained almost a half second with the TCC unlocked. Mine is a 3400 stall street Edge.

 

Do you daily drive your ride?

 

I used to drive it every day and it did great! I absolutely love it. Andre at Edge is a pleasure to deal with and customer service is phenominal. Edge is a company that really does build a quality product at a great price and they stand behind their products 100%. After dealing with Edge I wouldn't recommend anyone else and I will NEVER buy another off the shelf "stalls between xxxx and xxxx" converter again, no matter if it's behind one of the big blocks we build or my daily driver.

 

my buddy had them make a custom converter to his setup in his mustang.....he said customer service and handling time was great....and ive been in the car the stall does its job.....

 

I'm trying one out with my 4L80E swap. They're supposed to be really good, and their converters are powering some super-heavy trucks with 1000+rwtq without problems, so I'm confident it will hold my 3800 lb cruiser's 700+ rwtq.

I'll post some feedback in a month or so when it's all in and I have some miles on it.

I had one in one of my old Buick GNs. It worked well and I liked it.

 

Id like to buy in but theres just the craze that surrounds Yank and Vig and their quality. I already made the mistake and bought a Fuddle and havent been happy with it.

 

I've had mine for about 2yrs now (Street Edge 9.5"). Haven't had a single problem with it. Mind you Edge stalls usually stall 400rpms or so above what they're rated for. Mine was stalled in the 3k range, and according to datamaster, typcially flashes to around 3400-3500 rpm I had mine built with slightly higher STR for street driving (I think it was somewhere between 2.45-2.5) and don't have a single issue with it.

Datamaster shows fairly good efficiency (slip rpm/rpm x100) up to 6000 rpm (about the redline for my car) at about 97%. My 4000lb car usally hits low 1.8s. I've upgraded the suspension this year to more peformance oriented shocks, and hope to drop it it a little.

sometimes any converter can be a hit or miss. My friend's vig he got back is way too loose. The car doesn't even want to creep at all if you take your foot off the brake from a stop. He had it restalled to 3200 rpm IIRC, and logs show it's flashing to 4000 rpm at times. He's taking it out this week, to put a West Coast Converter in(I think it is owned by Edge last time I checked)

 

I have the Pro Edge on my th400.I havent had a prob and so far I love it.
Yank is a great brand but is mostly so popular just here on the board.I asked a few hardcore drag racers what they thought of them and they had never herd of Yank.Just shows you that there is more than one or two quality companies.I liked Edges customer service more.He builds custom converters for your car and not just a off the shelf verter according to what your gear ratio is.
My dad has a Yank in his car and he loves it.So just do your homework on the company and you will get a good converter.

 

Ive been talking to Andre at Edge about a converter and we are speaking of a 3400/2.45 STR. I've only heard great things..

 

ANDRE IS THE ****! Hands down. You will NOT deal with a better company than edge. Products and customer service is top notch.

 

Just bought my Edge verter. Great process and customer service, they know their ****. I cant wait to get it in and feel the difference from this sloppy Fuddle.

 

ordered mine today(3200) ....will post after its installed to give first impressions.

 

I had them rebuild my non-EDGE converter, and I love how it turned out

 

i hear its a pretty good verter!

 

Pro Edge converter here and i'm very pleased. I think they're the most "slept on" converters in the ls1 world, probably due to them not being a sponsor.

 

Just to follow up in this thread, mine is holding up great since my '80 swap a while back, and it totally kicks ***. These converters are legit !
