I had and 8 inch ATI in my car that broke a lug in July. James at Coan built me a spragless 8 inch that picked me up .05-.06 in the 1/8.
If you are shoe polish racing a loose 8 inch is the way to go.

I've had great luck with ATI, the one in my 9 second 69 Dart had less than 3% slip.
ALOT of guys at my local tracks are using 501 Perfect Converter now and having awesome results.

No one mention Turbo Action ? GER?  I learned the hard way on that way back when. Broke one GER(it sound like a box of glass), they replaced it and the replacement had 13% loss. I've been running a PTC for quite awhile. One of my buddies tried a 10" 4000 GER in his turbo 400 in his 68 Pontiac because they were so cheap. He got lucky. It lasted many years with abused street/strip miles in a 10 sec all steel street car. Still worked great when he just sold it a few years ago. The car has changed hands & is still going strong today & is back up for sale again now from new owner #2. The second converter was still working when I replaced it with the PTC 9.5", but the 13% loss was costing me almost .30 and quite a bit rpm.

We've been dealing almost exclusively with JW Performance for a while now. Really love my 8" for the 904. We've sent a few back for adjustments and they've performed exactly like what we were looking for when we got them back.
