Anybody familiar with Pat's Performance Converters?
Any opinions or feedback would be appreciated. I am in the market for a converter and have basically made my vendor choice, but somebody on the board mentioned them and I am curious about their history and their product (mainly because their prices are well below the average).
Experience has taught me that you get what you pay for, but I am looking for outside opinions on them. Thanks Regards, Rich

Quick, only two things I will say. 1: People building quality units do not have a tremendous mark up on their converters, so in most cases, price is an indicator of what type of quality components and workmanship. 2: Anyone can claim anything as far as torque multiplication ratios. The truth is how your car reacts to the particular converter and how long it handles your power.
I would have to wonder how someone can build a unit of any quality and perfomance at half the price of other top quality units and give good customer service and dependability. Just my thought and experience of over 35 years of retail automotive.
