Aren't the spragless converters meant for mud racing vechiles?

Real short distances?
Besides you can't drive them on the street for any certain amount of distance.

I say run the sprag and pay the $1,000+ for the right converter or YOU WILL spend more on broken parts and new converters for your combo.

Converters are the most over looked part of a combination of a race or street/strip car besides the oil filter. IMO

To many people get to hyped up on heads, cam, intake and power adders and then over look the converter and wonder why there shit is SLOW! Maybe it's because you have a stock converter in the car and you are now to cheap to finish the car the right way! It's all about the ENTIRE package as a whole....and yes that means the transmission, converter, gearing as well as fuel, suspension, and chassis.

You want to be the boss..... then pay up or shut-up.

Sorry about the whole rant and rave but I see this every ******* day and it's getting old!
