It's been several years, but I used to hear bad stuff about them. Lots of problems with repeated breakage. You will rarely see anyone in the serious racing crowd pushing big horsepower in front of a B&M converter.

I'd second getting a nice converter. Price if nice, but strength is better. I'd bet B&M's run fine on near stock cars, but with a big 460 sitting up front, I'd not risk it.
