Never heard of them, but if you get one let me know what you think of it. I've been thinking of getting a new converter.

I wouldn't waste money on no name junk. I've been down that road before with Midwest Converters. You get what you pay for. There is science in converters. Companies like Coan, Hughes, etc. charge more than the rest and for good reason.


There is no such thing as building a race car on a budget, no matter what anyone thinks. What normally happens is someone tries to skimp by to stay within the budget and ends up going over budget to fix what they half assed it to stay within the budget.

A wise man once told me (he is also a member of this site :D) "Drag racing is a disease that can only be cured by poverty". If that isn't the truth, I don't know what is....

Did you ever change converters? If so how did it work out for you?

[camaro1]

i went with the west coast converter in my first link, the guy called me, took all my car info and answered all my questions, and offered a free 1 year stall speed change, he would even pay shipping

i purchased the 10" 2400 stall, the converter seems to work good ive had it in my car for a couple weeks now, i also installed a denny's heavy duty drive shaft

if you call west coast converters ask for bill he is the guy that makes the converters there

im going to have my car at the july rsd so we will see how it works then

What did you run in it before? I'm in need of atleast a 3000 stall with lockup and balloon plate for my truck. Maybe i'll give him a call and see what he has to offer.

Thanks

i had a tci 12" dia with a 2000 stall, what a difference in weight going to the 10",

the 10" still has a lockup clutch in it and has a balloon plate for nitrous

Bill from West coast called me and recommended a 3000 10" converter for $420 shipped. Real nice guy we talked for along time about my 60ft issues. I also checked out the edge converters, they recommend a 3400 10" converter for $525, but i have heard good and bad things about them. I think i'm gonna order up the West Coast one they offered me the same deal as you. I know one thing i won't buy a midwest converter again.
