Rev max converters any one tried one?

[riderman329]

From what I reading these Rev Max converters have a good rep with the coal rollers.. well I seen they have some pretty good prices for 4l60e trans.

Anyone tried them have a good, bad or indifferent review on them?

I ran one in my 700r4. It worked great. Although I have nothing to compare it to other than stock. Get on ls1tech, there are a ton of reviews on them (good reviews). The only people bashing them are the guys that haven't used one.

They say you get what you pay for but people seem to like them.

I'm pretty sure [MENTION=1837]jderry[/MENTION] used one in his LT1 car.

I had one for a short while.

It was a stage 3 3600 stall with all three upgrades (Anti-balloon plate, sprag spring, and carbon fiber woven lockup clutch)

It was better than stock, I got it on sale during one of their promotions for like $450 shipped, so it was not a bad deal.


I now have a Yank SS3600, I gained about 2 tenths and a few mph with only the converter change.

If your goal is to get the best et out of your car, I would look into a Yank, Circle D, Vigilante, or PTC. If you just want a decent converter to wake the car up a bit, a Revmax should do the trick.

Thanks guys I spent all last night at work reading about them and like mike said only people giving them bad reviews are the ones not using them.

My suggestion is to stay away from converters for 4l60/4l80's with a ring gear attached like the one in this link.

They are using the stock mounting pads and attaching a ring gear. Clutch is normally too small to handle any capacity.
Precision has a link that explains a little bit about ring gears. http://converter.com/why.htm

Truth. I kept blowing the lockup clutch out of the several I had that were setup like that. Went with a Yank this last time, VERY pleased!
