i was having transmission problems, so i sent it back to get repaired. after 1.5 weeks, they finally get it done. they said my converter was trashed (horay edge racing ). by the time i send it out to get fixed, returned, and installed, there won't be enough of the season left to make it worth it.
i wanted to get a 9 so damned bad, too. oh well, better luck next year.

That sucks. I went through all kinds of tranny problems this spring (again). Is it a c-4?? Is it from PA?? Tranny braking??

That does suck! I was wanting to see you get that 9 second time too.

I have heard nothing but good things about Edge converters. Could a transmission failure have taken out the converter? Did you learn the cause of tranny failure?

yes, it's a pa c4 with brake.
i don't know what damage caused what. a fast car on turbomustangs.com said he went through 5 edge converters in one season.
almost all of the edge customers i've seen were mild street cars. i don't know of any really fast ones (other than the guy i just mentioned).

Never heard of Edge converters. Save up and get a Neal Chance converter, my buddy priced one a couple years ago, it was about $900, but he's had his $600 JPT rebuilt twice (neither was due to JPT, but to his failed home built C4s, he now has the PA SuperComp c4 w/ brake). If he had the bolt together Chance, he'd have been able to take it apart and likely not had the expense.

How was EDGE on fixing your convertor?

I've got one and have been super happy w/ Andre's help in building one for my '95 and w/ the convertor itself.

My convertor decision came down to a PI or Edge convertor. Andre' was super friendly so I went with Edge. Customer service is HUGE in my book.

That's not bad. thinking redneck racing at the moment. I see a few guys like there brakes. I jus bought one. So after I see if it works, I may lean that way harder. Good luck man. Hang 'em high
