I have a dodge charger with a stroker 451, voodoo cam, 770 street avenger carb, 8.75 posi 323 gear, and 275-50-17 rear tires. These are right at 28 inches tall. My cam specs are .489-.513 lift, 226-234 duration @.050 lift, ground on a 110 degree centerline. Like everyone else, I want the best of both worlds; a good driver that will work with my power brakes, and a ripper when necessary. I cannot afford the overdrive tranny yet. I have looked at a lot of converters on the web, and am not sure what to get. any help would be great. also where is the least expensive place to buy them?

Yank, Spec-Rite, Precision Industries all make high quality converters, I called each and got their recommendations based on my car's specs.
Dave at Yank spent the most time talking me through it both on phone and email, that combined with the fact that they were running a sale is what got me to order from them.
