    I think Vig and Edge converters are worthless! NO ONE on the site has produced impressive #'s (60 ft etc) with a vig or edge (ESP edge).

    My opinion [img]smile.gif[/img]
    How about TCI?? Wanna friendly PayPal wager that my NA car, with mostly stock suspension, and a 4000 rpm TCI vertor will out 60' you NA, maybe even on the bottle?? [img]smile.gif[/img]

    And did I mention that TCI's cost half what your over-priced Yank does too [img]smile.gif[/img]

        Yea, 60' competition. And TCI makes their convertors of course [img]smile.gif[/img] They are a part of the same company with Comp Cams, ZEX nitrous, FAST intakes, Performance pushrods, and others.

        HERE is a their webpage with a little info on their products. Search deeper into the site and you'll find all sorts of specs and such. Mine will be 4000rpm with 2.6:1str (still nitrous friendly, but will hit plenty hard for my NA runs).... Wanna come to Texas anytime soon?

                Stock v6 verter restalled? Nope.

                This might be where you had no luck with converters.
                Maybe... at least with them because that's how they built the converter for me. But it didn't matter anyway, cuz I didn't need an aftermarket converter to run 11's. ;)


                Yank is VERY good for me! This is my opinion.
                I think Edge converters are worthless! NO ONE on the site has produced impressive #'s (60 ft etc) with an edge
                I never got a chance to install the Edge converter, but I can attest that I had WAY BETTER customer service from Andre. There are some others that DID do well with their Edge converters. One that comes to mind at the moment is Shane.


                My homework paid off previously with my 3200 Pro Yank whjich knocked off 0.7 seconds in my ET.
                Along with the converter, I'd say your 60fts dropped considerably because your car weighs about 600 lbs less than when it was stock. :D

                          I'm doing appearance mods, so I'll be in the car show. Besides... his car weighs like 2 pounds now...I think the only thing left of it is the shell in which his legs will pop through the bottom so he can run and give the car speed, like the cars in the Flintstones! I'm not sure if I can compete with that!!! [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img]

                            If my car were "super secret", I would've slammed the hood shut on your head last year at the Livingston Show while you were snapping pics of my engine compartment... [img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] :D [img]tongue.gif[/img]
                            Disclaimer: James is the ish... we go back to the days of his psychotic driving where one little innocent fox almost lost his life as I screamed "WATTTTTCCCHHHHHH OUUUUUUUTTTTTT!!!"
