Torque Converter Experiance
I am getting ready to purchase a Tq by the end of the week to get my truck back on the road and have a couple of questions for all who have replaced there's. I was looking at the Hughes but they say "up to 400hp" the only thing that concerns me with that is I want to do more upgrades down the road for higher hp. I am also looking a Georend which seems to be what most guys are going with and I am also checking into BD power converters.
My question to all of you is what make do you use and how is it working and also how much was it.
Thanks

I have the Hughes XFM15. It works pretty *OK*. It's way better than stock. It's what I could afford when I needed one. I've not been on a Dyno, but I'd guess I'm pushing 250hp. Towing my fifth wheel I feel the TQ falls off a bit at the very edge of my top end. Pulling the passes here in Colorado things tend to get a little toasty towards the top. I feel the Hughes is the best bang for the buck, but if you're planning big HP upgrades, probably not the the unit for you.

Goerend is the way to go, what i heard. Dave will talk to you on the phonen personally and they put a lifetime warranty on some of their converters. CAll em up and ask for a 518 converter and even if its not on the webiste doesnt mean they dont have it.
