Yep, Calvin has always taken care of us. Oh wait, their stuff is so good I don't have to send it in. LOL

I will say this, I have two of their converters and as far as I can tell they are identical. I have a couple of other spares but it is actually nice to have two that are the same, just in case!

40 days is way to long IMO but you got it back so that's a good thing, hope whatever changes you wanted made were done correctly.

When you order a new drag car convertor, does the convertor company tell you what you should be using based on hp and car weight, or do you tell them how you want it (flash rpm) based on previous experience with car combination?

have pitted next to Marco at several divisionals over the years ..and had some good T/D battles ...he is a class act... he and his wife and kids are very polite and outgoing people... the world needs more people like them .. the fact that his transmissions and converters are awesome is just an added benefit ...

Well Big Steve there were no changes- was looking for reason car slowed-wasnt in converter had other issue a modification I had made and when reversed car went back to previous E.T. All converter got was new bearings waste of time/money but will never send it to them again!

I took mine to Lee Ream at C2 Competition in Ephrata Pa. and picked it up the next week. Made a combo change and needed the converter changed to match!
