which one is that? $650 or $550?

I just ordered one for my buddie's truck, and the lady couldn't even tell me why the $550 one is lower stall than the $650 one, but cheaper, haha

Ok, I think this is how their converters boil down, the $550 one uses a stock but machined stator which lowers the stall but also kills off a bit of torque multiplication. The $650 uses the 15 blade left cut which does`nt lower the stall as much (about 300) but is more efficient/ multiplies torque better than the stocker, this is the one they recommend if your going to be towing as it lets the turbo light quicker. I can`t tell ya too much about the big $$$ converter as I never really had it as an option to me and did`nt ask. The guy (Craig?) told me that the big$$$ one REALLY lowers the stall and requires a decent amount of HP/TQ to make it shine, IOW I`d prob be unhappy with it. Took just about a week and half to have it at my door but they had one on the shelf, YMMV as the cores for these are apparently a bit harder to come by compared to the L/U units which are everywhere for cores.
