Anyone tried a JEGS XHD Street/Strip Torque Converter??
I was wanting to up my stall to 3500, and I came across their converter. I have a set of Aluminum heads from JEGS on my car and they're great.

Just curious if their converters are any good, or has anyone had any problems with them???

Re: Anyone tried a JEGS XHD Street/Strip Torque Converter??
I like mine, it is a little loose on motor. However, it loves the nitrous I've got the 3500-3800 or the 3800-4100 I can't remember but at any rate it footbrakes to 3100 on motor and will around 3800 on nitrous

Re: Anyone tried a JEGS XHD Street/Strip Torque Converter??
They guy who pm'd basically told me they're really good converters made by a well know company. Apparently he didn't want to make the info public, b/c he would be linked to it which could have affected his job or something of the sort.

That was along time ago, and I deleted my inbox and I don't remember the company or the details. Sorry fellas.....
