I would lean towards a Circle D, but I am a little biased - LOL.

What is it you want in a converter?? What are your mods, plans, budget?

I was very happy with my triple disc 9.5" Vig. after I stopped using the truck (3yrs old just hit 10k miles) so I put the stock one in for a year and a half and now just installed a Yank 9.5" 3600, feels good, this Yank was used in an AWD TBSS for over a year with track runs on it.. One more thing, no matter what, stay away from TCI, I had one for 2 weeks, nothing but problems, vibrated, finally blew up metal in my trans..sucked..
