I think that most of the converter companys make very good converters. I personally like Neil Chance and Protourque but I'll be trying PTC's converters in a couple of cars in the very near future.

Thanks for the info though, i'll check around on some prices and stuff.

On the slicks issue, you have to look at the sidewalls. That is what goes away before the tread. On most heads up cars we hit the tires extremely hard. This tears the sidewalls up. Also on Loudmouths car he stated the car was spinning leaving so it is almost like he has 60 passes instead of 30.
On Coachs car I hit the tire just enough to have the same 60ft everytime(if possible) also we do extremely short burnouts. His tire usually go away after 60 passes.(which is usually 4-5 weeks)

Hey Madman, i'm still wondering why you recommend the 28x10.5S tire, I asked before but don't know if you saw it? Cuz when I go to get new tires i'll give them a try if they'll help me hook, but I was under the impression those were only for 6-speed cars b/c it helped them not dead hook but get a little spin so they don't bog down, so i'm just curious what the advantage would be for me?
