Don't know about the Poston's converter, but can tell you from experience I would NOT recommend a HUGHES converter. Hughes was recommended by DRW here in San Diego, 10 months later converter took a dump wiped out the tranny, DRW pretty much washed their hands of it said tough.
I have spoken to many and there are only really a few choices of converters, 9X11 from Bruce, or you can go to the converter shop, where Bruce get his stuff, ask for Rusty, you can get a precision single or multi disk, or a modified stock converter. I would not fool around with a poston's convereter, they are not a converter shop, only a retail outlet for other vendors product. I only say that based on my experience with the Hughes unit, not becuase I have heard bad things about Poston's unit.
Good luck, choose wisely, tranny rebuild are not cheap.

yea I tried something different thinking maybe there is something better out there then what everyone else is using, and I am paying the price. I am actually going to be using a Billet S3 converter from the converter shop, should be here end of this week/begining next, then I am back on the road. Been down since mid December.
Not sure, not their sales guy, just a customer, you'd have to call them. But it seemed on their web site the prices were pretty much the same as Bruce's.

If you are looking for a good economical convertor, we have been selling the orange strip convertor for at least 6-7 years for the turbo buicks, it works just fine. Not sure why anyone would try something that has not been proven.

BTW
It is Bruce's. I talked with Rusty today.
I will say it again. Rusty and I have a deal. Buy it from them, buy it from PTS, I still win. Rusty and I have joined forces in this converter. I take the orders and combos and take it from there. He makes the parts and builds the converters.
BTW , from what was relayed to me, it was a stock covered converter you were quoted. Our billet front cover ones are more.

yea stock front covers are less then billet, but I am getting a billet, not directly from Rusty, ordered through Len in Vegas. Originally discussed non billet with Rusty, but do not want to revisit Len in Vegas for a rebuild just to race, so going billet front cover.
