I have a 9.5 Dynamic in my 63 but it was built for my mild 440. I left it in for now but I think it will run better with a converter built for my new 493 combo. Cash was getting tight so I figured I will give it a try first and see how it does behind the new 493. Ron

But I had a great one on one buying experience with Turbo Action and I couldn't be happier with the product.

Used Dynamic one time.Never again.Converter slipped like crazy and stalled way to high(yes he was given all the specs). I have used Coan,Turbo action,and even TCI with good results. Most major companies will do a good job for a street car.If it is for racing spend the extra money for a race converter.

I have been running a Edge 9.5 for a few years, has been good to me. http://www.edgeracingconverters.com/inde...;products_id=14 My Don't buy a off the shelf converter, have one built for your combo.
