Hey all! I'm going with a new converter for next season for my 904, I have heard good things about ultimate and PTC, I have seen a lot of good things about both companies just seeing what everyone else thinks...

I agree from what I have seen both make a great converter, I was told by ultimate my current convert is way wrong, 4000 stall 10", car went 1.32 in the 60' and 9.79 in the 1/4, just emailed ptc to see what they say to, my current convert has it issues, it was a cheaper one, I just hope whoever I go with the car don't fall way off

I have a PTC but ultimate seems like great people too talked them a few times when I was getting converter quotes. Kenny at PTC runs a Yellow Valiant in 6.0 index. IIRC

I've heard good things about PTC but I run Lenny's and have had great results.

I use PTC although other companies can build a great converter for your combo. After many years and several dozen converters from daily driver lock up units to 8" race units they get them right far more often than others I've used , Kenny and lane are just great guys to deal with IMO.

Lenny's.
Heard good things of PTC as well, but have a Lenny piece in the slush box now and it's mean and spry to say the least.

The deal with a 904 converter is the hub and notches for pump ears and ptc and ultimate use the same one which is the best one.

I have an ultimate

No wrong choice. I use PTC because Kenny is a great guy and they are 30 minutes from my house. I see Lenny at all the big small tire races and he is one of the nicest guys ever.........Like I said, No wrong choice

I have three Ultimate prepped convertors, two 8 inch 904 T/A convertors redone by Lenny and he redid the stock lockup convertor for the 518 in my D150 and I lowered my 60ft by a tenth

PTC's are very popular with drag racers in my area. I've met Kenny Ford and he is very personable and easy to deal with.

Been dealing with Lenny since the mid 90's. Chuck Lofgren recommended him to me and I haven't had a reason to go elsewhere. 3 Ultimates in my stash.

I've had both, currently using Ultimate, but wouldn't hesitate to switch to a PTC if needed. Both Great people/companies.

That pic is leaving at 5800 when I leave at 3800 it's not bad at all. Front end is tied...4 link car.
