I've personally seen 5 of his cams ruin engines, I bought one from him too and ran it 2 weeks then pulled it out asap when I saw the results of his grinds.

The converter is a re worked factory converter thats done locally.
I called Kyle and he has only seen 1 cam out of dozens have problems due buyers' installer (Not Kyle) not using the correct rods, the end user had it installed by some one else.

How much is that converter costing you? Circle-D offers a re-worked Trailblazer converter for $375 I believe...it seems to be a very popular converter around here and so far Circle-D's products have been solid. (I'm very nervous about automatic transmissions and auto trans components when I'm not familiar with the manufacturer, as I've seen a lot of inferior trans products through the years) Are you getting a decent warranty with the converter?

my first cam was from him, it was an ls6 copy on a 114, pulled it out a month ago, looked great. he has 100% feedback, so he must be doing something right
