you will have a hard time beating the quality, performance, and price of the http://edgeracingconverters.com/index.htm I have the "Mild Street Edge" and really like it.. Call early in the morning and talk to Andre or email him.. he responds pretty quick to email.. He know's what he's talking about and will steer you in the right direction.

I hear edge conv.are pretty good! But imo precision industries makes the best torque converters!www.converter.com There a little pricey,but they last a long time,and offer "great" performance!If you call them up,and tell them the car your gonna use it for(mustangs use stallions) they will suggest the stall speed you should use, and costom make every converter!!!

I love my Edge 2800 Street Edge converter. They also custom make all their "Street Edge" converters.

When PI custom makes the converter,the outer casings are machined out of Billet steel !But if your on a budget Id go for the edge.

Getting a convertor from a company called TCS in Langley B.C Canada. They make Convertors for Lentech automatics and there custom building one for the spec of my car.
Question.............. what is it meant by flashing your convertor , em i using this word in the right manner.

I use an Art Carr 10 inch on my car. For about $600, they will custom build you a convertor based on all the specs on your car. Weight, tire size, gear ratio, tranny, etc...... It wouldn't be in your best interest to go out and buy any already built generic convertors. If you are trying to squeeze out every .01 out of your car, a custom built convertor is your best bet. Mine is about a 3000 stall with a stock motor that is 11 years old. Just recently I was getting 1.84 60 foot times.

there are different ways to get stall. there is brake stall, there is true stall, and there is flashing.. basically my converter is 2200 brake stall, 2600 true stall, and if i floor the gas and it kicks down it will flash out to 2800 or so real quick.

You have the 12" converter correct? I'm kinda leaning towards and edge converter now with all these good things I have been hearing.

yup the specs I gave your are for the " Mild Street Edge" which uses a stock size converter. it has some really good upgrades done to it internally that Andre at Edge could go over with you. It's was a nice upgrade for my 92. The web page gives it a bit higher stall rating but what I posted are what Andre told and are pretty much what I see.
