Killed another Converter
Just a word to the wise. I just killed another converter. In 3 years I've now killed a B & M Holeshot and now a TCI Streetfighter thi morning. I used to race TCI and I never would hav believed I would break their converter,but I did. If you have lots of power choose your drivetrain wisely and don't skimp! See my sig for my combo.

What is you next converter going to be!!
maybe a Precision Industries "Vigilante" They are expensive but have a 2 year warranty and a couple of free stall changes form what I hear.
I am going to use this converter when I remove my T-5 and put a 700R4 back in.
Just wondering what your going to go with

I'm not sure yet, TCI wants me to ship the converter back so they can see it. They said they will rebuild it for about $150 since it's out of warranty. I want to find out more about the multidisc Vigilantes, that's what I'm looking at.

I decided on a single disc 2800 Stall Vigilante and ordered it through Thunder Racing with their weekend 10 % off promo.

Was going to say go with a Continental converter but looks like you've made your choice. I split open a stock converter with the 305 a couple years ago hehe oops. 6 inch split really sprays the fluid on the road.
