Converter Brand?

This summer I will be investing in a 3000 stall converter and was curious as to what brand you guys run. I've checked prices on B&M and TCI and they seem roughly the same...I also looked up fuddle and it wasn't too much more then the others...I was just wondering what you guys run?

Re: Converter Brand?

Brands I have heard good things about:

Edge (Mfg Site)
Vigilante (Pro-Built store link)
Hughes (Summit Link)
Phoenix (Mfg Site)

TCI and B&M are apparently trash. I would hesitate to spend less than $500 on a quality unit.

For a 3000 stall, I'm assuming you're going with a 9.5" diameter TC? That's pretty close to what I am planning to get. On my 383, I am shooting for around 2800 because of the cam. I will probably end up getting it through Phoenix along with the built trans.
