No one offers better pro-touring converters than us. We can build a 9.5 or 10 that feels super tight down low, but screams when you stand on it. The TH350 stuff is pretty affordable too, as there's no lock up clutch. Call or email with vehicle specs. We'd love to work with you.

A second for Continental's 10". Many of the Pontiac guys are using them in very torquey motors in heavy cars. Mine clicked in the 10s with one. Jim Hand runs one in his low 11 second 4000+lb wagon.

Third for Continental, these guys know what they are doing and will build a specific converter for YOUR application. Not cheapest but unlikely you will break it, and it will be made specifically for YOUR car. Running their 10" race behind a stroked rat motor in a street driven full weight El Camino.

Continental is one of the best. Chris uses only the best parts and knows his business. As does our key partner, Pro Torque. The distinction is that we're spending more time and energy than anyone asking what happens when you snap your foot off the gas, jam on the brake pedal, then switch back to the throttle in short order. It's a different tune up. Ditto on using these parts across 20-30 minute track day sessions as related to fluid and heat. We work with Red Line Oil to test and recommend fluids work specifically with these cars rather than just 12 seconds at a time -- wide open.

One thing to be sure and do is not let anyone talk you into a looser convertor than will lock up at most speeds you will drive. BTDT.
