why a custom built converter isn't for everyone....

It all boils down to how much u want to leave on the table. I see guys all the time build the motor, tranny and rear diff. New carb then run their old factory converter or something g with lower stall then they need then wonder why their car under performs. Converter technology is light years ahead of years gone by. Kim
I'm going to answer your question to me in post 55 that "I really don't understand converters, do I?" The answer is "yes", I do understand them.
