Choosing of converter help

abodyjoe said

Problem is you never know what info they told him when ordering their converter. May have not been totally honest about the combo or the intended use. Ive never bought from ultimate so I’m not out to defend him blindly but man if you aren’t totally straight forward about the combo and or intended use you can easily be disappointed.

I’ve bought two from dynamic and have been very happy with both.

Really?? What did I miss? Dyno numbers? Check. Car weight, tires and gears? Check. Intended use? Street/strip, primary 1/8 mile, check. Oh I know, I didn't tell him it was green with grey covers on the Kirkey seats. Lenny is a good guy, he just missed my converter both times. I put 75-100 more HP in the car and was a tenth slower in 60' than it was with the old motor and a $450 converter that was bought with no dyno numbers. I sent the Ultimate to Kenny at PTC and he has got it down to within .02 of the old combo. IMHO it's still not right but it's a ton better than it was.

Will I use Ultimate again? Probably not, but I'm not bad mouthing him either. Lots of guys have had good luck with him and I wish him continued success. There is a good chance that over the winter the car will get a new converter and I'll put this $1800 paper weight on the shelf.

Edit: Yes, I gave all the details on the engine too.
