    I, until recently ran there 10 thunderbolt converter, it was costing me 4 tenths in my 60 foot times, I am convinced they sell junk avoid them at all costs.

    Wjhile I can't speak for their trannies, I also had one of their converters. They are pretty cheaply built. Do not skimp on a transmission or converter. That is one area where you get what you pay for.

    I suspected that but...

    I run their street strip c4 and 3500 stall converter.
    The transmission took two months to get, cost twice as much to ship as they said, arrived without an input shaft and both of the fittings for the transmission cooler lines were damaged and leak a bit because they were run into the case with an impact gun.
    On the plus side, the transmission really works great, the shifts are nice and hard and the converter does stall fairly high although I've yet to launch it really hard or try to stall it on the brakes.
    If I had to do it again, I'm sure I would either get one built locally or go with a different company.
    My guess is that I'l grenade the converter at some point, but for now I think the trans will be okay. I haven't had the pan down yet to see if it's full of metal.
    damn...
