Who has the best custom converter for the $$ or should I say who gets it right the first time or at least real close? This is for a street strip 408, not an all out race car. I'm looking for people with first hand experience not second hand info and I will not buy a Dynamic.

i went with Turbo Action. their converter put me in the winners circle right on day one, had to spend a bit of coin but it's perfect & bulletproof so far, & thats 9 years of abuse it's endured.

Dynamic, if given enough info they make one of the best hands down, ,,Turbo Action, been another one of the best for years, altho, the last one we got and sent back 3 times has been a very bad miss on setup, but it works! they just cant get to the 5200-5500 I need, , it's best is 4800,, every time I send it in Paul says you will send it back to have it tightened up!!,, nope , I gave up, Just run it!!
I took a GER out to put in the above verts, I gained nothing, I still Have my GER, just in case I need a spare!!

Ultimate Converter with out a doubt. You not find a better experience than dealing with Lenny and Dawn.

Talk to Andre ar Edge Racing Converters, I have a 9.5" that was built for my 340. It was sent back and went through for my street/strip 408, it flashes 5000 and works great on the street and strip. My Dart is 3260# with me in it and has gone 1.38 60' in good air and will go 1.41-2 in the heat on drag radials.

A1 and ATI are the really ONLY players who know converters IMO.

Ultimate will get it right the first time. I have heard good things about PTC as well.

Give Jason Brock a call at Quick Draw converters. Really knows his stuff and is VERY reasonable.

Spend the money and go with a 8" instead of a heavy 9.5"(edge). I just made this change and lost 8 lbs of mass and picked efficiency. I'm still a little loose for my combo, but the car picked up big time.

I know I am alone here but here goes, and then let the stone throwing begin. I have never had any luck with PTC in an NA application. In fact I would go so far as to say had nothing but problems. Customer service was great but way to many issues with simple things soured me on them.

We have had excellent luck with ATI and A1 over the years. Probably purchased 30+ converters from the two of them. I have tried many and always end up going back to these two, depending on the application.

I witnessed first hand one episode that I'm sure Al was thinking of.... and were not talking missing the setup, we're talking failure! Repeated failure. It was so bad in the end that the victim had two converters from them and eventually switched companies. I know I'd never use them.
