I'm having my trans rebuilt (727) and was wondering if an up-grade to a B&M 10415 2400 hole shot convertor would improve my low end performance. The convertor I have now is a MP 145K #P487687AB, The engine is a stock 383 4bl and she is a doggy from the hole...your comments are appreciated

Your trans guy should be able to give you a good idea of what to get. Get something that works with your gear, tire height, and cam.

He suggested the 175K, but those convertors aren't supplied by Mopar anymore, and the car is on the rack and needs to come down by Wed so I'm in kinda of a hurry

100%
But don't forget the remaining factors of car
weight, compression and carb too. 383's are rpm
sensitive especially with WEIGHT. Good thread!!

I've had good luck with an off the shelf Hughes converter in the past (3000 stall) behind my 360 (before the nitrous set-up). Need something else myself now but I think you'll be happy with yours! Good luck
