Go with whatever you already have. I'd do the same company.

This is one area that I strongly suggest not skimping on...If The Yanks or Vigs are a bit out of your range I'd wait and save for one of them....I use Vigs and have since 1996 and they have been flawless...I ran a Vig 3600 for over 10 years and just had it restalled to 4000 to better work with my combo...Remember that generally for street/strip set ups you want the converter to stall between 500-900 rpm below your toeque peak...My Vig 4000 feels like a stocker until you nail it then all hell breaks loose...

My brother told me to get a ptc after I threw down the money on an edge converter, but my converter from edge is great it is stalled at 3400 and is the smaller converter.
