Question Converter decision, need help

I have been looking at this converter, the Stallion at:

www.converter.com/stallion

I know that this is not chiseled in stone for a comparison but you can't help but notice that the color of the T/C is Purple. This is also the color of the T/C used by BTS in his trannys. It's possibly the same, i don't know.

Does anyone have any info on these converters or the company?

IIRC that's the one that BTS uses. I've heard good stuff about it on the NBS forum. You could search all the diesel forums for more info.

I had one in my 97. It was great until one of my men got the truck stuck in sand pulling about 12k, (the truck weighs 14k), and just sat and reved it until it fell apart. It is worth the money.

I have one and its badass. In the obs truck the PI was holding 650+ rwhp and lots of boosted launches. It is now holding 600ish rwhp in the superduty.

wow, bet that was tough. I forgot, you like to flap your gums alot and thus your jaw muscles are probably very strong.

What rock are you hiding under? Many of the high hp 7.3's run the PI, its considered one of the best. 5 star is probably one of the least popular.

ROFLMAO Steve still hasnt topped 400 or probably 350 for that matter. Im sure he's never even ridden in a truck with a PI converter let alone ever saw one. Glass dont mind him, he's just a keyboard racer. True hp junkies back their #'s up, not make them up.
