Default Who to talk to @ PTC Converters

Me and my brother are wanting to buy some PTC converters for our turbo truck setups, my question is who should we ask for when I call? We both have turbo LS setups with 4L80e's.

I can't remember who I talked to last time. I think it was Lane(sp?). He hooked me up and I had no problems on my old nitrous set up.

I work with Dusty at his "day job". He recently set me up with a PTC converter for my twin turbo Nova and it made a huge difference compared with the old off-the-shelf 10" that was blowing through to 6,000 rpm in boost.

Went ahead and talked with lane today at ptc. It made me sick to fork over that much for a converter. There is no way I could put the money out for a multi disc. Hope I can have results half as good as the op.

Same here Tim was awesome to work with and my car came Alive with the new converter

And that's what a converter will cost not sure why your surprised. You get what you pay for and it will be one of the most important purchases you make
