Luke I think B&M make those...will be ok....but I like Coan Convertors...blown serveral cheap ones...I have had pretty good luck with Coan...reason is that they are pretty close to rated stall speed...you cant get a 3000prm rated stall speed and it will stall from anywhere from 2800-3200rpms...Coans that I have had a been darn nearn perfect on the cosistancy...have a 3800 in right now
You can't say a converter is a "300 stall" or what have you...you can just get in the ball park. Put a converter rated at 3000 behind a 327 in a Vega...then put the same converter behind a 540 in a chevelle and see what the difference is. It will be significant.

I run a COAN too....great converter

I think if someone is looking at a $200-$300 Summit converter for a mild engine...sending them to lok at a COAN is gona make him inhale deeply...LOL. Mine was almost $1000
