Default has anyone ran one of these torque converters

I was lookin around on a transmission website and i seen these torque converters and the site looks to have some really good tranny stuff. there torque coverter is called a power rapter. kind of a cheesy name but looks like some quality stuff. just wondering if anyone has any feedback for these?

That place is here locally. I know some people who bought converters that were supposed to be one expensive brand and ended up being a midwest converter with a different stall rating. Then there was a news story on them about people complaining about their service and parts being sorry. They wouldn't talk to the news crew about anything. All that was enough to turn me off of them...

I find most of the names pretty lame. I personally would look into some of the sponsors on tech. Go to our web page and look for converters. These are the people we trust. Tell them I sent you. Vince
