How old was the converter have heard some of the (stock) parts they used were below par for drag racing.That was a few years back iirc.

Im not sure, I bought it from 1989k1500 (Luke) from here. Dont get me wrong, the converter was fine and worked awesome, but I just didnt like the looseness off-idle. Whatever it was to begin with is irrelevant now since I have it back after being reworked, and it looks brand new to be honest.

Good thing for every living creature on this earth there is only one of him

I had a 4200 in my truck back in teh day with my first stroker. It really wasnt that bad to me back then but now that Ive got a little 2400 in there that annoys me sometimes I dont know how I did it but it sure was fun doing 4wd drifts

The only problem I have personally seen from a PI is my buddy bought a brand new 9.5" converter from them, put it in his 5.3 s10 and when he went to take the truck for a drive it would just stall when he put it in gear. Converter was locked up tighter than a drum. He had to take it back out and send it back to be redone.
