Best way is to go custom, which ever one you choose, let them build the converter around your combo.

A few good companies to deal with Precession Industries, Andre at Edge Racing Converters, Alan at Dirty Dog Performance, and Greg Slack (which is the one mentioned above, that Chuck knows, never have used one, but haven't heard anything bad either).

Greg Slack converters is who chuck, myself, and 1wildcoupe uses for our converters. He does a great job on them, I think a custom AOD converter is $850.00 last time I asked. I have his # if I can find it I will pm it to you cammincoupe.

aint gonna matter.........i'm still taking the front bumper off of it anyways!!:taunt: would you like for me to hook a tow strap to the front of your car and drag your ass down the 1/8th mile so you'll know what fast feels like????:lol1:

Sorry for hijacking your thread. Why are thinking about changing it? Did you change the cam? As long as you get a good brand torque converter that is made, based on what you have, you will be ok. :yes1:

im sure they do GREAT work and there local for you . ive heard good things. custom is the ticket:yes1:. camron and torque converter spec. in columbia does excellent work to. alot of promod guys use him and so does mr.chris tuten:thumbsup1:.

what inch converter do you have now? is it a 10? you could always just get him to restall your converter and it would be cheaper than the 850 and be just as good for CERTAIN.
