St_Brawler · 06-21-2000, 01:06 AM

Who makes, if anybody a conveter for the '97 AODE, and how much does it go for. Also if anyone has it installed, how do you guys like it??? Does it make a big difference when you slam it from the stop light ???

I think some of the best converters out there are the ProTorque, ArtCarrs' & Precision Industries Stallion converter. I have tried the PI & Protorque and both are awesome and can handle tons of power. I'm actually having my stall increased tomorrow by ProTorque to 3200 rpms. It makes a huge difference off the line and with the NOS and Gears you have, traction is going to be a problem. The converters I mentioned are about $695-$800, but you will not break them with 800 hp. The only reason I use the ProTorque and not the Stallion is because ProTorque is 15 minutes from my house and it's easy to keep changing the stall until I find what really works.
