You may want to consider a PTC. (PM Dusty Bradford on this board)
They have a unit that you can lock up to drive for fuel mileage
but is so efficient that you don't need to lock it at the track.

If you have to lock it up at the track regardless of effeciency
I would consider the Vigilante or PTS units.

did your lockup work before with your converter before you got the EDGE unit?
Does the speedo work etc ??

Ptc is the only way to go.

I would consider a PTC NON-locking unit with the billet stator. These things just plain work and work damn well. If you arent driving more than a few thousand miles a year you are better off with the PTC NL converter. It is a much simpler consistent unit and Dusty can spec these things really well. I am done with lockup converters myself for anything but near stock cars. No need for the extra mass with the lockup converters when the efficiency is not consistent when un-locked.
