So...... Ever seen this happen?

In the 90's I bought a cheapo $225.00 GER convertor and ran it for a couple of years and everybody told me to buy a good convertor. I bought a Coan Race convertor that they recommended for $600.00 and my car slowed down over a tenth in the 1/8. I will never buy a Coan convertor again. I wasted that $600.00, should have kept the other junk convertor in it.

In the 90's ? Convertors have come along way. Also the correct engine, gearing, tire size specs are a must for getting the correct convertor for a particular combo.
