i don't have any experience with them, i went with a Fuddle converter and i'm happy with it. I don't htink those converters are going to "screw up" a 4l60e, as they design converters specifically for those models.

it seems on this board yank and VIG are leghumped more than any other company

Did you do a search on your Fuddle before you bought? It's a renamed converter that maybe you already knew, or maybe not?

My TCI SF3000 stall lost the lockup clutch. (I never locked it at the track or dyno it just died from normal driving) I'd spend the extra and get a Yank or Vig...
