For the OP you need to call the manufacturer and get tell them your mods and future mods so they can get the right stall and hp rating for you. I would not go over a 2800 stall though unless you are doing some serious power adders.
yeah, you are right, i just dont know how to say what im thinking in my head. but usually racing converters are set to a crazy high stall speed right?

Just looked at the "racing" converter from Edge and it sounds more like the converter I have in mine now from APS (Stall numbers, power ratings, parts used, overall gains). The Street version seems more like a stock replacement with a little higher stall, as for power/performance it does not give any numbers for gains which leaves me to believe it will probably be better than stock but not a huge improvement over stock.

Cool guys thanks for the comments... Truckin you said your TQ improved your performance alot right... I am wondering maybe i should go with TQ that you have if its already proven that it produces more power.. Instead of the TQ that Airram.com offers....

edge makes great converters and are cheaper than the aps converter, I just don't think i'd go with the MILD street one. As for gains APS guaranties a 25-30rwhp gain min.
