    Please look at the specs below from a local manufacturer of TQ Converters and let me know what you think. Thanks in advance.
    The "Street/Strip and Full Race Series" is available in a 10inch and 8inch Race kit only. Each unit is Custom Built with Impeller hubs and Turbine hubs made from 4130 Chrome-moly steel, 52100 bearing steel race stator, Heavy Duty Torrington bearings, and a CNC billet machined front cover which features a screw-on pilot system allowing the covers to be quickly and easily adapted for use with a engine plate up to .500"... Turbine hub flanges are welded to the turbine at a greater distance from the center and directly to the shell in order to achieve stress distribution and a stiffer turbine assembly... Impeller hubs have thick, large diameter flanges in order to resist ballooning... Each converter is computer balanced and pressure tested for leaks... Our Full Race Converters are available with a One Way Clutch Eliminator which prevents the stator from freewheeling or a S7 Tool Steel Mechanical Diode one way clutch with much greater strength than roller clutches and dog-leg style sprags... Both are ideal for high powered drag racing vehicles... They are not designed for street use.

    Call ATI...1-800-284-3433

    It's a 9'' and ask if they will still give you the sale price,It ended last month but it's worth asking.
    This converter will take the "hit-n-miss'' out of the equation and last you a long time.

    Gary, thanks very much for the reply. On that ATI converter, does it have a one piece billet cover, that is, no mounting brackets welded on but part of the milling operation on the cover?
