Default Torque converter

I'm an up and coming sponser here on ls1tech. I'm trying to pick out products to carrier that are quality and cost effective. I just knocked out a group purchase on this board for Kooks Headers. Top quality brand and you can call them a great bargin at the prices I was giving them away for. Now, I'd like to see if I can hook my fellow ls1techers up with something else. Would anyone be interested in a group buy on a torque converter? I was thinking about going thru a Midwest converter. They make some top notch converters for th400s, 4l60s, 4l80s and they have some 6l80 stuff to. I think that should cover just about anyone on the board here. Their biggest problem is that they don't advertise enough to really get there name out there. They are local for me and I've seen their shop and some of the cars they have their product in. Some big time lsx cars (7-8 sec)!!!! I'm not looking to toss out any quotes yet since I don't have any pricing myself. Just gauging some interest. I know I need a couple for my shop cars that I'm working on so I'm guessing a lot of you guys would like a good deal to. So Midwest Converter, yeah or neah? They are some what unknown but they have fair prices (they will be amazing during my group buy) and a great product. Check out there site and let me know what everyone thinks. http://www.raceconverters.com/

His prices for the Kooks were some of the lowest I have ever seen.

Juiced.......just FYI Yank and Circle D are two of the most popular TC's on this board, not saying others arent good but I think youd have more interest in a Yank or Circle D GP.

That's kinda what I was thinking but I'd figure I'd ask around first. It's a shame because they have some bitchin rates in the first place so with my group rate these things would practically be installing themselves.

I'd be interested in a stall for a 4L80e if the price was smoking good.

Pricing makes a difference, but quality is my main concern. Get some specs and prices, I'm always interested in a good deal.

I like the interest guys...I'm still need to set up some pricing guide lines with Midwest but I might talk to Circle D or Yank to just to see what they can bring to the table.

Circle D is out of the question as far as group pricing goes. I'm going to run thru a few more options and let you guys know.
