I'm assuming Dynamic and Ultimate are still the "go to" guys at this point in time? Anyone have any issues with either?

Frank Lupo has built my converters since Moby dick was a Minnow.

LMFAO! I'll take that as the ultimate recommendation.
Absolutely!
Well Dynamic was started by Frank Lupo, then I guess he sold it, then there was two Dynamic Converters. Since way back I started referring to Frank Lupo Converters. So there was no confusion.
I think that's right. If you look at the site I posted it says "Frank Lupo's Dynamic Converters" I believe that's because that's not the only Dynamic. He also moved from Connecticut to Delaware, so that could have something to do with it too. I know he's always made some of the best converters around.

I meant "ultimate" as purely the meaning of the word, not the manufacturer. ;)
I was thinkin maybe that. I just wanted to be sure you knew which one Roy meant.
PTC makes some really good converters, too.
Precision of New Hampton does those. https://gopnh.com/
They build performance converters for many of the transmission parts suppliers.
Can I extend this question to include 727 lockup converters? Seems I can't find a damn one that isn't just a rebuilt OEM stocker.
Mind you I don't need anything crazy for my current project. But would like a little better than the original stock one I have now. A little higher stall for a pickup with a /6 that has been upgraded with what I would call an RV cam, (Oregon 819) a super 6 stack, ported and shaved head with actual measured CR in the high 8s that will be a daily driver OCCASIONALLY pulling a small pop up or utility trailer, with a few mowers on it, around.
This is 85 D150 long bed, has 8-1/4 rear with 3.21 which I hope to keep.
Already have the trans, wanting to run what I have. It's the original trans in the truck. Alot of people say to downgrade to a 904 which I see no point in. That would also mean further expense like a longer driveshaft to start with.
I have a couple of bad teeth on my ring gear which is why I'm looking for a converter, but as long as I have to replace, I'm looking for something a little better than what I'm gonna be taking out.
