Ryan K. I told them the tire size and rpm, trust me even Jim from Speed Inc talked to him on the phone! The guy from Coan asked us if we were doing top speed runs, what a goof!!

I've talked to Marty Chance, his turbo converters are really the gold standard. I know that W2W also buys converters from 1-2 other companies, but I don't recall their names.
I've heard of Bradco, what is their claim to fame?

I called Yank. They were very helpful. I ended up with a custom billet 11 inch verter with a 3000 rpm stall rating. It should be fine on the street cruising, and really come alive under boost. I have 3.25 gears going in the 9 inch now. The car will be riding on 315/35/17 BFG DR's on the street and some 28x10.5 ET drgas at the track. The car isnt running yet but should be soon. I will let everyone know how it turns out.

I have one his waiting to go in my car. He is big in the OSCA racing. Im pretty sure his converters were in both the outlaw and pro street champion cars. Real nice guy, good to work with and will take care of you. "If its not right, send it back and we'll make it right" is what i was told when placing my order.
Ive also talked to chance quite a few times, he also comes to the local track out here quite a bit and is considered the best of the best. For a good reason too, his converters work VERY well.
I had to choose between the two, both of which i had head great things about. It came down to bradco simply for cost. I felt i was going to get a great product either way.
