Generally the best converters are the hand/built to order converters. The cheap ones you get off the shelf will be loose as Jenna Jameson and will give you that "clutch" slip feel you are NOT looking for. This is just one of those parts where it is important to put up the $$ and buy something quality. For all the work that goes into building a proper converter, you can't expect to buy anything of any sort of quality for $150. Expect to spend $500-$1200 for a quality brand. If I could make a suggestion.... give Andre at Edge a call. He really knows his sh*t about converters and can build you one to specifically match your performance goals and engine combo. They run somewhere around $500 for a 700R4... I know this because we bought a 3000 stall for or C3 vette. The stall is actually 3000 and I wish we would have went higher. The car drives like a toyota corolla under light throttle, cruises at 2400RPM on the highway, and is a beast when you mash the "fun pedal." DG |
