I've already emailed Coan and a couple other converter shops that have converters in the $500 - $700 range. Hopefully I'll be able to get one when I get my income tax return.our appointment is at the end of next month so at the soonest I'm looking at the end of March.

I heard back from Coan who suggested a 9” in the 4500 stall speed range as well as Edge Racing who suggested a 9.5" in the 3800 stall speed range. Both are around $700. If everything works out with taxes and I get the go ahead from the boss I think I'm going to go with the Coan.

Nice. We you spraying it off the line? If your hooking up go with the higher stall speed and see what you can pick up.

Yes, I have a throttle activated switch that triggers the nitrous at WOT. So on spray I stall it up on the footbrake and then go full throttle on the third amber. I don't use the transbrake with the nitrous because I was afraid of breaking the converter which happened anyways. Both of the converters I'm looking at have antiballoon plates for transbrake and nitrous use somI may try a transbrake launch on spray.

So we signed our tax papers and I'm going to order my converter as soon as we receive the refund checks. I'll update this thread once I order it on what I will be getting.

My converter arrived today. It's a Freakshow Performance 9.5 inch converter with anti-balloon plates. It should stall to about 3600 NA and flash to 4300 on N2O. I tried to call Phil to have him check on my trans but I haven't heard back yet. Hopefully he can get one of the guys to finish it up. If not I ordered a manual on rebuilding TH400's and will pick it up and complete it myself.

Phil called and said that Fred is going to finish up my trans for me. Hopefully I'll have it back sometime next week.

I got a call from Fred because he went through all the parts for my trans. Apparently Jaimie disassembled it but hadn't started putting it back together so Fred went through it all to make sure everything was there. While doing so he inspected everything and there are a lot of parts that I have to replace. I need new forward and direct clutches and steels, pump, drum, and valve body. So it's going to be a while before the trans is finished. I'm going to have to buy parts over time. The most expensive part is the valve body because of it being a transbrake version. Summit has it for $430.
