That led me to a spec sheet that you fill out for a quote on a converter. So why is the PTC spec sheet on the Cope site? Does PTC build converters for Cope? Also, anyone have experience with SMR converters? The marketing info reads very good but I would like to read some actual user responses before I make a purchase.

I bought a 9 1/2" PTC for my 727 and he will listen to you and give you what you need. No issues at all, very helpful, excellent service!! Dave

I currently run a 5000 ctc I bought used and freshened locally sine june last year if I get my 572 plus I'll put my 4000 smr back in. PTC Dynamic are good too! I always wanted to try a Dynamic some freinds have them with good results as with the PTC's too

Anyone have any experience with their converters? SMR has done my last three converters.Very pleased with Pat.His converters stall right where I ask him to set them. I sold one of them like a dummy.

Just talked to him a couple of days ago about my current 9.5" PTC converter. The 9.5" worked great behind my old 446" RB. Right around 4% slippage. Now I have a 512" RB and the converter can't handle the extra horsepower. John said I need a 8" converter and I called Kenny at PTC with my complete engine and drivetrain specs. He speced out an 8" for it. Remember when you spec a converter,you must tell the builder every complete detail on your combo. Need your rear end checked out? Contact Grizzly!!
