There is also Yank converters.
I went from 2.3 60's to 1.9's n/a
I went from 15.2/3's to 14.4/5's n/a
At most I had reduced the weight of the car by 100 pounds so factor in .1 for weight reduction.
I still run weeney 3:23 gears which usually are not the best gears for a high stall converter.

I am EXTREMELY satisfied w/ my converter
$700 for .7 quicker in the 1/4 mile
Pro Yank 3200 nitrous converter
2.8 STR
95.5% to 96% effeciency at 5800 rpm's

I do! :D I've taken it once, didn't do well at all. So disappointed that I installed nitrous. I now know that I was launching all wrong. Will try it again soon. I have 2870 stall 2.33str 97%eff, if you're wondering. Feels great on the street and highway. Oh, 60 ft went from a 2.44 to a 2.20 on a bad launch.

Still think that it's a good converter though.

That's encouraging news. Mine will be installed in a week. I have a little higher stall and str, we'll see what difference that makes. I want it to knock at least .8 off my et, but I can't hope for too much. My best '60 is 2.38 btw, so maybe I can hope for 2.0?? (crosses fingers)

I went from 2.0 60 foots to 1.85
and on nitrous i went from a 1.7 to a 1.63 60 foot i love mine but i sent it back recently after having it for a year. I bought the one not made for nitrous and i spraied the piss out of it. So the great custmer service at Edge is helpin me out. I will soon have soming like a 3600 stall to go with this new cam.
