Got my PTC modded converter back and trans is in the car as of tonight. Still need to bolt on the extras, driveshaft / starter/ etc.. The fine young man at PTC told me it will stall about 4500 . Perfect. Thats what i want and thats what i told the hacks at Dynamic last year. I didnt race ONE day in 2014 thanks to Dynamic Transmission. The 1st time i got the converter back , it stalled at 6200. Sent it back (on my dime) and then it stalled at 3500 . UN-acceptable, never again. And yes, they had the exact info on my entire combo from day 1 . I hope to fire up my Dart next week and stand on the brake---Ill post back, but I will buy everyone a steak dinner if this thing doesnt stall at 4400--4700 rpm !!!

I really want to root for you on this. But with a steak dinner in the balance, it is hard to.
So is this 4500 stall speed dead on? I'm hoping for 7k... how are you arranging these steak dinners? Do I simply send you the receipt from the local steak joint? Grocery store receipt? How big of steak can I get? I want Ted to verify this stall speed. Looking forward to my dinner on you!

I will take you up on your steak dinner bet.
PTC makes a decent conv but he was not that good in my case.
I had my issues with his convertors, he was Great on his customer relations and service with me, he made me 3 different convertors and none stalled as he said plus he had the build sheet and dyno sheet.
First 1 I broke, he replaced and updated it, I broke it again.
Got a whole new convertor from him but he didn't send the conv build card back to the shop that said No More NOS on the car, that conv was a PIG in my car, 1/2 seconds slower NA then the 1st conv.
3rd conv was another New one made for me from build sheet, 8" conv
he said it would stall high, I asked how high he said 5700 I said GREAT that is where it needs to be. It stalled at 6200 when I tried it with the brake. He offered to redo it but I had enough of taking the trans in and out for 1 year 4 times was enough. I did have my best 60' with it and it was consistent. I sold the car a year later.
Would I use a PTC convertor again??? Probably yes because of price but I wouldn't bet a steak dinner on it's stall. Kenny is a Great Guy.

I've used over 20 PTC convertors and never had a single issue.. well when you use that many you're bound to find one that works! ....and I totally agree with Eric's statement. I have no reason to go with anyone else.

Hope it works out good for you! I have a bunch of friends that love their PTC converters. I've only had one, didn't turn out good, but it wasn't exactly their fault.
