convertor question

I know its been asked 10000000 times but who would you recommend to buy a converter from. I'm done with cheap high stall slipping junk. Mild 440 450 hp in a 74 Scamp 355 rear, Comp EX 274 cam 224/230 duration 110deg separtaion

Turbo Action, Dynamic, PTC, Ultimate Convertors all make quality products. I'm sure there are others I have forgotten. What have you been using?

I could never identify the one I have in there now. I love the stall but its way too loose. Its like driving a car with the tranny slipping all the time. I had a Mopar performance one that i chewed the gear up on when my MSD digital 6 took a dump. The timing went crazy and it kicked back and broke the starter and took a few teeth of of it. It was a little too low stall and kinda tight.

Got mine from PTC. Good friendly customer service. They'll need to know specifics of your set up.

I've always had good luck with Frank Lupo's Dynamic Converters as have friends of mine.

I agree as they are all good as is ATI. Myself I have a Luppo Dynamic in my 63 as its a street/strip car and I love how well the Dynamic converter works for me. Ron

I ran a hughes 11" 3000 stall in my '67 440 Dart, 245@.050" cam. Ran great, and you can get hughes through summit for a reasonable price, even better with a 10% discount code.

When I put a bigger cam in the Dart, I needed more stall and bought a used Edge Racing converter from Ebay, they are out of Florida. That converter works great, stalls about 3700.

For my satellite I've purchased a Dynamic, it was on sale and they are apparently experts at this version (around 4200 stall, same one that 383Man has I think).

And though a lot of people poo poo it, we bought a GER converter for my dad's 440 65 Coronet. At the time we didn't know where else to get a 19 spline converter. Anyways, that one has worked great.

I guess I want a tight convertor that will flash when needed but not ber so sluggish just cruising around or highway driving,

You need to talk to the manufacturers and give them your information on the engine, car, trans, gear, and tires, and what you want from the converter.

I had Ultimate build me a tight street/strip converter. It is a 9" 5,000 RPM flash stall converter that is so tight it seems like an 11" converter until you really hit the throttle. It is exactly what I asked them to build me, but it was a bit pricy, just over $1K plus shipping.

You will have to make a decision on just how much flash you want. It will directly effect the sluggishness you describe. One goes with the other, but the best converter builders obviously have the best handle on it.
