Maybe a Goerend Single Disk???? I know the others are alot of $$$$ but if your planing on 450hp why waste your time/$$$ on a cheap converter just my 2cents. I know the single is cheaper and I believe you can upgrade it to a tripple or Dave credits you something along those lines.

Mojave Green makes a tc that can take quite a bit. I saw one get very abused. Can't remember the power level at which it let go, but is must've been over 500. It was replaced with a fully built Goerend. Price on the Mojave Green is $489.

I'm kind of in the same boat, looking for the best bang for the buck, and not wanting to break the bank.

I hope Dunrite gives a better product than they respond to emails. I tried to contact them three or four times w/no reply. Needless to say I went else where.
