Because the Australian dollar is so strong, I feel that many are overlooking quality products made in Australia. To boot, if there is an issue, there is no international freight and lost time to have it changed. My anyway Alan Jones

Quote: Because the Australian dollar is so strong, I feel that many are overlooking quality products made in Australia. I agree on the quality aspect Al...but they are also $300 MORE than the = US part. Last edited by Moparmal; 09/02/11 02:45 AM.

The folks that think the first converter they got was the best possible are never correct(as for the guys that have the same converter for 20 yrs and never need service,ask how many passes do they make and are they really doing anything above the norm). For the best converter you'll need at least 10 converters and plenty of street and track testing. My go to is PTC as they listen and having a long track record with me know what I like. Most companies can build a good converter,just gotta make sure they know the combo. Swapping to a 727 will slow you down over the 904,a great converter MAY even the deck.

I had the best results with my T/A... these are all for a 727 and I am putting a T/A in my Rampage with a 518 trans... I am hoping it flashes between 4500 and 4800... I do have another T/A conv around somewhere and it flashed at 3500 but that was in a screwed up engine with no torque so I might give that a try behind the 416 with considerably more torque so it would be a higher stall... the Coan sucked so I bought a trans specialty conv and that was a bit to loose for my engine at the time but it might work well behind my W-9... currently I have a T/A in the race car that stalls at 5600 and I am hoping that the trans specialty stalls about 6100
