Building a mild Smallblock Dart with a 371 stroker....a guy has both brand converters with same stahl.....same price.....
 
I agree with Jimmy. IMO it'd be hard to decide which is better. Make sure which ever one you get is custom built for your car and it'll perform great
 
If I HAD to choose one over the other, Lupo.
 
Never used either of those but if you want the BEST out there give Ultimate Converter a call.Lenny is the "man" when it comes to converters!!
 
Are they both used? If so what are their histories, was either one in a car that had a transmission failure or was on nitrous? What is the condition of the snouts? Get the model and serial number of both if you can, call both manufacturers and get the lowdown, does either one have anti balooning plates? Then you can compare apples to apples.
 
I agree with d55dave. Unless you know what the history is I'd avoid used converters. You just might be buying a time bomb. I've said in previous posts, used converters just make a great door stop. They're a sealed unit, and until they're cut open, you just don't know what condition it's like inside. Having worked in the industry, I've seen many a "good" used/hi stall converter head for the scrap heap once they've been taken apart.
Once you've got your engine/axle ratio/tire size etc. finialized, contact one of the converter companies mentioned as see what they say best suits your needs. Just because it stalls at a certain rpm in his car, doesn't mean it will do the same in yours. Above all, don't let price be your only guide when it comes to making your decision. JMHO
 
Yep..... this is what my "good" used converter looked like when I had it cut open to freshen. And it seemed to work fine, LOL
