I am not a racer, but I have a nice PTC converter in my 340 Dart that has been great on the street and occasional strip pass for almost 13 years. PTC is in Muscle Shoals I believe. http://www.ptcrace.com/

Another vote for Turbo action. Excellent customer service. My tight 10" is pretty sweet to cruise around with, and helped pull 1.54 60 ft times in 3600 lb w/ driver Cuda. Stock suspension with sticky tires. Racing and driving for 4 years and no problems at all.

There are alot of good converter companies out here. I have used two different ones in my street/strip cars and they have both worked to 100% of my satisfaction. Turbo Action of cousre are top notch converters and the Luppo Dynamic Converter I use in my 63 now as its been in my 63 since June 2006 when I put it on the road. And we use a Dynamic converter in my sons Dart. The Dynamic converter works great in my 63 as it does just what I wanted which is drive around like a normal converter and at the track it launches good enough for me to pull a 1.50 sixty ft in my 3700 lb 10.70 street car on just SS springs. Yea I have been 100% happy with my Dynamic and Turbo Action converters. Ron

Yes like I mentioned earlier in this thread the tight street convertors are a good product that gives you the best of both worlds in one convertor. Normal driving is good and when you mash the gas it breaks loose and flashes with the power you put against it to give you the performance you want. I have a 3800ST Street Tight and it workS great in my 3,400 lb 70 Cuda with a 600 hp hemi and 410 gears. They are great convertors and the company gives great service.

I need to know if this is for street only, street and strip or race only before making any suggestions Any idea of how much HP, torque and weight? The more information you can provide the converter company the better It is easy to get a cheap converter,just shop around for the cheapest one Getting a good or excellent converter is a little harder Especially with your deal Take your time and do what your doing now (research)and then call each of those company and talk to them, take notes, and then decides once your sure you have the one(the correct company) you want when you place the order Good luck

I asked the same question about a year ago and ended up going with Dynamic (Frank Lupo) Converter. Like others have mentioned, there are quality converters available from several sources which will serve you well too.
When I ordered mine, they were offering a "winter special" price. They will ask for your car's specs and tailor a converter to meet your intentions. Comparing what they charged, I felt their price was very reasonable.
I upgraded from a B&M 2400 Holeshot which performed very well I will add for an off the shelf, 25 year old converter.
This is in a 340/416, 727/3:91, E-body street car that I take to the track 3-4 times a year.

I have talked to a couple companies now. Although they probably have a superior product, I can't justify a $900 converter in a transmission I'm building myself. $400-$550 is what I have in mind.
"Car" is a Ram 50 truck. I built the engine. Has smog heads from Mccandless, shaved .020, 2.02/1.60 stainless valves, pocket porting. Air gap intake, speed pro flat tops, mopar .484 cam (probably go bigger soon), edelbrock carb, shorty headers. TCI kit going into the trans next week.
Weight is approx 3000. (Probably end up less than that). Narrowed 8-3/4 rear, putting a 4:30 or 4:56 gear in. Has 29x18.5 Hoosiers and a 4 link rear.
It will go to the strip 5 or so weekends each year. I will cruise town with it too. Heck, I'll drive the damn thing to work for the fun of it.

78 cop 440 - and this is from the service book that I'm looking at in front of me - has a factory stall speed of 2500-2800. They did this to help offset vehicle weight and smog effect. I know it's a long shot, but if you had one of those laying around, give it a shot. That's a good factory H/D part. I would imagine a 76 and 77 would be the same. Just a suggestion. I know there's a weight and perhaps even a torque difference but if you're making pretty good power, you might get right into the range you're looking for

Does it have a P/N on it? I wouldn't mind doing some research for you
