really the TTS converter is a precision converter?Let me settle this debate before it gets started. Terry and I are friends from way back. We both grew up and went to school here. Terry makes the triple lock section of our converter as he does for lots of other converter suppliers. As a matter of fact Terry was the first to incorporate a triple lock design and everyone else copied it. That's it. The rest of the converter design is TTS. Terry's parts will not fit in our design and TTS parts will not fit in Terry's design.
The billet front covers are event different!

So Eric your 99% wrong! I hope this puts it to bed once and for all!

You've been talking to Smoop to much Eric. ):h I just want to stop this before it went any further. Terry builds a good converter, I just had my own ideas and was lucky enough that Terry would build parts the way I wanted it and since he started the triple lock set up I didn't need to worry about that part. Things have worked out pretty good, I get what I want and he gets to sell me parts which is what he wants.

The ATS converter is really a Suncoast! Or is it the other way around? I'm confused. ):h

Did we ever determine if the Yank converter was any good?

Maybe Precision makes them for Yank, Banks, B&M and DTT. :eek:

Perhaps Smoop can fill us in as I'm sure he has cut them all open, and "analyzed" not "reverse engineered".

Of course this was only at the request of one of his customers that supplied it to him.

And what about Tony Garson?

Will DTT take over the High Perf Allison market?

Will Suncoast develop a Co-Pilot?

Stay tuned folks for the answer to these and many other perplexing questions.....right here on:

"As The Stator Turns".

We now return you to your regularly scheduled program of

"Ostriches and Allisons"

Where many stick their heads in the sand and refuse to acknowledge anything that may be "new or different from what they already own". :eek: ):h

I think Buckeye makes them ones with the pig feet...

I know that the pretty girl that delivers the transmission parts house here makes a wooden converter....

Oh crap, now I am not sure if its hard wood or soft, or maybe a copy of some.........
