P.s. i know vig or pro are better but i need the money for the cam and intake swap....HSR/hotcam

 

When buying any converter you always get what you paid for. An inexpensive converter will never be a good performance converter.

A 9" converter can stall higher easier than a 10" converter with the same stall speed. For the 10" to stall at the same high speed, it needs to slip more. The more a converter slips, the more heat it generates.

My current converter is a JW 8" race converter that I paid $1200 Canadian for quite a few years ago. I had it rebuilt locally last year for a couple of hundred bucks. When it's time for another rebuild, I can get a 9" made locally for about $1000 that will be stronger than the 8" and give the same stall speed.

Externally an 8, 9 and 10" converter will look the same. The external dimensions are all 10". The 8 and 9" will have the smaller parts on the inside of the housing.

 

so your saying go with the jegs 9"

 

anyone else have an idea or ever have one of these....

 

I ran the Jegs unit for 2 years with great results. very cheap (big plus back then), flashed to 3600 (rated for 3500), and very cery consistent and repeatable in the 1/4mi as far as mph was concerned with no excessive slipping. It was the ideal street/strip convertor and would have no problem buying one again. I believe TCI manufacturers the Jegs convertors anyways.

 

I am looknig at these also. Anyone else have run them?

 

so I take it that you're describing teh 3200-3600 stall converter?

 

Waay back then it was just labeled the 3500+
