i talked to a coan worker at the world drag expo... they know there **** no doubt and havnt heard of anything going bad with them at all ever.

Coan gets my vote, but i dont have one so take that into consideration.

Coan Racing makes by far the best converters and Trans'
in my 6 second pro-mod we have a Dedenbear aluminum Powerglide, filled with all Coans internals the 1.80 straight cut the band/drum everything, the Coan pro brake..
We used to run a 10" coan converter, now we are switching to their super mega 2 piece converter because Craig finally talked me and my dad into it!
Talk to Craig at Coan and youll be more than happy!
