I've never ran one but I've heard they are alright. I'd venture a guess they arent as good as a goerend or suncoust though. that's the general consensus I get from the info I've read.

No one in particular, I went with a california company that is not as well know in the diesel community but has been doing converters since 69'. I am swapping the converter and 518 into the truck within the month, so I will have results. Name of the place is Mojave Green converters. Good people and good product. I got a full walk through of their shop and the processes used. He (the owner) even had some of the big name competitors converters there for comparison.

I dynoed 405HP through a georend over the weekend made over 100 pass down the 1/4 mile and drove the truck to every event from Canada, Washington, Idaho and Oregon. 3 years and still going like the day I put it in.
Oh and countless 360's....

I`ll let you know how Goerend`s stuff runs hopefully in a couple of weeks, pulled the trigger on it yesterday and should be here in a week or so. Rear main seal decided to finally go from drip drip to "OMG it`s POURING out!!!" so while the trans is out I`m going to go thru it and toss in a Goerend for good measure. I`m psyched.

I run a Goerend manual vb in my p pump truck, he builds great stuff. Just saying to hold the 400~ or so hp is different than 800+. Non-lockup does present a new challenge though, but any good converter shop has been dealing with them for years.
Choose who you want, its your money. I'm just tossing my opinion out there.
