PRO-BUILT EDGE CONVERTER ANY GOOD?

I talked with Dana from Pro-Built and he was telling me not to go with TCI or B&M b/c they are not good products, and he suggested I buy a torqu converter from him...he sells "EDGE" and "VIGILANTE" brands..has anyone had any experience opinions about this? I'm thining about buying a transmission rebuilt kit from him. Thanks.

Re: PRO-BUILT EDGE CONVERTER ANY GOOD?

I have been running a TH700R4 with a Pro-Built Street/Strip rebuild kit and Edge 9.5" 2600 stall converter behind a 400 HP TPI engine for about 2000 miles. I love the performance from the trans / converter, and Dana's follow-up service and tech advice is superb.

Re: PRO-BUILT EDGE CONVERTER ANY GOOD?

I have an Edge convertor and Dana has talked me through my probuild 4L60E tranny rebuild that he supplied the parts for.

LISTEN TO DANA HE KNOWS WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT!

I have owed him a testimony on how good his rebuild kits are for two years now. But every time I get online I am afraid to say anything because I think my tranny will fail at the track the next time.

I have a 383 high compression LT1, spraying a larg amount of nitrous, wheel standing off the line, and my Probuilt tranny and Edge convertor are holding up great. (I hope that I did not jinks my self)

Yep been running an edge as well for both my old L98 and 383. Worked well. I had about 625 hp or so on that 383 with a nitrous shot. Worked great both on and off the bottle for that motor.
