Default Torque Converter who do you use

I'm pretty much inbetween Coan, ATI, and Ultimate open to suggestions of other companies. i'm sure i won't any have isssue with any of those 3 companies just wanted some advice from guys who test alot of converters and if it makes a difference this is going in 3000lb 550hp bracket car that will see both footbrake and transbrake racing i know that means the converter probably won't be perfect for either. but who would you use and the trans is a turbo 400.

Thanks
Patrick

I have been using ATI for several decades. They have great service and a fantastic product. Call and talk to Charlie Plott. You might have to leave him a message and he will get back to you. You would be much better off with a glide than the 400 in a bracket car

Mike i appreciate the input. Ive considered a glide but i have a 400 and i wasnt sure how well a 2 speed would work in a lower horsepower combo like this. But also the extreme weight reduction from a all steel 400 to a glide might make up some for the lack of a gear.?

X2 on ATI. I've been a customer for over 25 years and have always been happy with their quality, service and knowledge. A-1 is superb as well.

None better than ATI. That said, I've been running a Turbo 400 for 25 years in my bracket cars, running as slow as 15s to as quick as mid 8s.
