Default Anyone ever heard of this brand?

Has anyone ever heard of the PATC brand? They do the 700raptor stuff. Im wondering about getting one of their street raptor 2800 stalls.

My friend got a 2800 converter from them for a 700R4. It's a Dacco brand, says it right on the box.
I'm not so sure what to think of the company, they present themselves well but thats just good advertising. They also seem to be the first to show the latest parts but thats it, no word on customer service.

PATC is down south I believe in Alabama. I bought some parts from them and they are still working. DACCO is a converter company that has been around for over 30 years in Cooksville, Tennessee. I worked at tranny shops all over Detroit in the 70's that used DACCO converters. They are 2 different companies.

If you are looking for an economical converter, we can build it. We can do just about anything you need. 12", 11" 10". Shoot me a PM if interested. My prices are very competitive, and I am a sponsor.

Yea Dacco is a manufacturer and PATC is a dealer that sells their stuff.
Point is you buy stuff of their site you never know what brand anythings going to be.
The sponsors here are giving a lot of info and time away for free, maybe if patc did that it and was part of the group here it'd be different.
I don't see a problem discussing them since they did appear a few times when there were random ads popping up on the sidebars here.

No worries im going to use one of the sponsors on here. I thought they made their own converters.

See their advertising worked.
This is a much better place to talk to the vendors of various products so you know what you're getting.
What sucks for the sponsors here (I guess) is the banner on the top of the forum might lead you to PATC, I've seen it, and I don't think they pay for that.
