just call Mr Cameron to get a convertor. you could buy an off the shelf convertor, but he will do a better job for you. there isn't much point in the convertor though until you are making some extra h.p.

I have to disagree. When my car was basicall stock it went from 8.9's to 8.7's with a 2400 and no other vhanges. I then put a 3500 TCI in it and it went 8.4's... I also went from a 2.0 60' to a 1.8 60' on street tires.

Not sure I follow that. You can drop .5 with a converter only (provided you have traction). Except for nitrous, show me another mod for the $$ that will drop that much ET. Not going to get that with gears and not going to make enough hp with bolt ons for that.

Not to mention from a roll. The difference is night and day....especially on an otherwise stock car.


I would say to plan ahead for the converter. Take future mods into account before buying a converter. That's not something you want to swap out a bunch of times......unless you have tons of cash laying around.


This is just my $.02.
