Circle track 904. I will need a good one off the shelf or possibly a custom built exact for my app. I had heard that Frank Lupo back east (Dynamic transmissions iirc) was good but that was many years ago. Any recommendations? thank you for your time.

Is this for IMCA Hobbystock? Yes, our money is right (finally) so I'm thinking we want an edge that the chebbies wont have. (& that item cant be claimed). I'm looking forward to seeing you out there.

I bought a 9.5" 4K stall converter from Dynamic as well. They were good to talk too, although the phone calls we had always seemed rushed for some reason...LOL. Anyways, the converter does what I was promised on the phone it would do, so no complaints.
As to how good of a converter it is? Well, I really do not know my drivetrain stuff well enough to answer that...so no idea regarding the efficiency (% slippage), etc, etc...

No more PTC for me. I have bought several converters from PTC over the years and they have always worked good. But this last converter has been a royal pain. First, the flash was way high and the snout did not fit in the crank until I worked it over. Called them, sent it back, got it back, but it is still too high. When I called Kenny again, he said it will be hard to get the flash any lower on that size converter. The size they chose with dyno sheets, etc. He acted rushed and said to send it back and he would try to lower it some more. And did I mention the engine shakes around 2,000 now? I suspect it is the converter. Anyway, I called Lenny @ Ultimate. Although I have never spent a dime with him, he took more time and asked more questions than Kenny ever has. I am pulling the engine and tranny now and will send the converter to Ultimate to see if anything can be done with it or if I have to start all over again. Maybe PTC doesn't have time for us small fish anymore.
Master, again and still

Robert..Lenny tore down my conv so he could change the stall and clean it out after getting trash in it.. its fine now and he did a nice job stalls lower and works great in my street rod.. stalls at 4500.. give him a call and see what he can do for ya..yours will be different being a circle tracker but its worth a call EDIT I have run a few conv 2--Turbo Action 1-- Coan 1-- Transmission Specialties and the Ultimate thats in it now Ultimate and TA have been the best

I had a bad experience w/ PTC also.
I'd use Ultimate if I was to stray away from my local guy.
