425 is for their cheap converter core, but you can only get it so tight (as well as it I think is only rated to 6 or 700 fwhp).

I think my PTC converter was $700 way back when, and Andy's was a bit over $1000. Not bad.

called them. up to 700 hp, the $425 one is ok, which means its what i would probably get.

Hopefully next week or so I will be able to test my $400 ptc 10" tc. 10# it did fine, not blowing through tc just not dropping alot rpms 2-3 shifts. Tc is on its way though to ptc to get tightened up and trans is getting reverse band replaced. Shooting for 15-20# once its up and going and I will see how it holds up
