Sell it and call Andre at Edge. Tell him what you have and what you want it to do. I guarantee you won't be disappointed. Best bang for the buck converters on the market! Best customer service you will find too!

keep in mind since your car is so lite its not going to stall as high as what most converters advertise..


i would go 4400... should be able to spray a decent shot without blowing through it and will still be a monster NA..

if you want it for an all motor car, 5000..

Even with spray, the Neal Chance 8" is good to around 800 horse. I don't think you need a 9" let alone a 9.5"

Neal Chance does make great converters as long as you don't mind paying 1-2K for one. And that isn't even for a bolt together!

I paid $1100 for my weld together.
A converter is SOOOOOOOOO important to any combo so IMO, if you have to pay a little more and get it right then it's worth it.
Plus Marty over there really LISTENS and PAYS ATTENTION to every detail of your set up and will spend his time with you and not rush you off the phone to make sure you get exactly what you need.
When I ordered my converter the guy spend like 20 minutes with me on the phone, it's not llike I'm some big time racer or anything. I appreciate that and PLUS, the converter took nearly a tenth off my 60' alone the first day out with it.

I agree, converter will make or break a setup. Andre at Edge asked me a million questions about my setup. I told him that I was gonna be spraying very large shots of juice on it. After we got done he asked me for my info so that he could transfer the warranty.... The converter was in my car when I bought it, They gave me a warranty on a converter after I told them that I was gonna be spraying a 3-400 shot on it LOL. And I didn't even buy the thing to begin with! They also sent me a shirt, decals, pens, etc. Best of all they nailed it the first time! Since then we have bought about 10 of them for customers cars and they have all been great! Mine is holding over 800hp with no problems what so ever. We also have one in a 600+ rwhp Hummer!

I'm just trying to let you guys know that there are other options out there without spending a ton of money. You can get an Edge for around 5-600 bucks.

There's alot of options out there, I use a converter built by Ultimate Converter Concepts... I've had excellent luck with it and will for sure call him again.

His stuff is really big in the mustang world fwiw
