Who would you Recommend? This is a street driven Abody with a 800hp HEMI and 727 w/ a trans brake.
Will be used about 10 - 20 days a year at the track.

Thanks.

John

For my Pro-street 604 I used ATI....They got it right on the first try. I interviewed a number of convertor builders, and very few had experience with building convertors for 600 cube street cars. ATI said he drove a similar combo on the street and sent it to me in like a week or so. His was a chevy, but the internals are about the same.

I use Atlantic Coast Converters. They've always done a great job for me. I have two of their converters for my street driven hemi...one for nitrous and then one I used when it was naturally aspirated.
I also wouldn't hesitate to use ATI, Ultimate Converter Concepts, or a few others that have good reputations.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I never had a converter built for a HEMI so didn't know if one vendor was preferred over another.
I'm familiar with some of the name's given.
Time to make some calls.
Thanks guys.

I've always used Turbo Action convertors. I called Paul gave him all the chassis info along with a dyno sheet. He got it perfect.
