Roadrunner converters?
http://www.roadrunnerconverters.com/
They are a local company here in Phoenix and was wondering if anyone has heard of them or dealt with them. Are their stalls good/bad/decent/ok? They have a few for the 700r4 and was thinking about giving the 2800-3200 a shot.

Re: Roadrunner converters?
Thought I'd throw in another testimonial for Roadrunner. I'm running their 12" 2600 converter in my 89 w/700r4, and my buddy is running the same one in his 95 Formula w/383 and 4L60E. We're both very impressed with their converters. For the price, they're a great deal! I'm sure the Vigilante is probably better, but it's about 6 times the cost of a Roadrunner!

Re: Roadrunner converters?
If they are local, ask to see inside the place if they build from junk yard cores. If they won't, something is up. Any other shop will let ya in the back if things are done right.
Just that TC are real simple and folks can short cut allot.
I worked in a TC shop, and of course their stuff worked, but they didn't do anything special.
We cut them open on a lathe, washed them out, took a wooden mallet to the tabs to make sure they were tight [real places bronze weld all the tabs] replaced a thing washer or a thin bearing, weld it back together, pressure tested it, balance it, paint it purple and ship it.
