why a custom built converter isn't for everyone....

I would suspect you’ve never used either, because experience says you give up way too much. You save ZERO buying a custom cam. You save NOTHING, and some cam grinders are cheaper for their custom grinds than some of the big companies are for their off the shelf junk.

600 bucks for a converter that drives like a stocker but will flash to peak torque or a bit higher is cheap money spent.

Those who’ve never done it will never understand what they give up to save a little money. I call it stepping over donuts to pick up dog turds.

ya i was dumb enough to follow the "need custom this and custom that crap'' years ago.
i have noticed you like to shoot your fingers off with all your fancy talk but i don't by your hog wash.
i don't have a dog so i can't pick up dog turds but i will have a donut.
i'll continue to run my car with off the sheft parts and beat the fancy stroker engines with the custom parts to are matched to there combos. oh ya i beat the strokers with a stock bottom end 1974 360'' and old junk iron W2's that don't flow over 300 cfm, and a solid lift off the shelf cam from Hughes. i should also mention that my converter is also not matched to my car. i bought it used.

so i guess after i'm done having a donut, i should go out and get me a dog

edit, i guess i should also mention i have old crappy 1-5/8'' LA headers instead of W2 headers, my bad. i do everything wrong
