Default circle d/yank converter mileage

i know most people on this site run aftermarket converts such as yank, circle d, tci, or vigilante. but no one that i seen ever shows mileage on the. so here it is, post up your setup and what converter you use, and how many miles you have on the stall. i currently run a tbstall for the past 40k miles or so myself. i just wanna know the strength and durability of these.

Hwy is the same since the lockup is the same

Oh intown mpg is prob 12-13 and thats beatin on it a little

We've got one in an extended cab thats driven hard every day and been in the 11s at 5000lbs, it's the 278mm 3200. We've flashed it to about 36-3700 leaving on slicks and the bottle. Converter has about 10K on it and lots of track passes.
