Default Converter Questions

Hey guys, i need some help picking the right torque converter. Has any one tried the Edge converter? Its a 9 1/2 or 10" converter 2600stall. I want to keep my truck as street friendly as possible, since the stock converter is 12" is the 9 1/2 going to be a huge differance in daily driving.Do you guys have any other suggestions for converters for a Magnacharged truck? Thanks

Yes.

You will want a strong converter for FI. Yank or Precision Industries are the two most popular. I have a Yank SC2800 and it is very streetable. Don't cheap out on your converter.

You're from Simi Valley? Where at? I've probably seen you on the 118 or the 23.
