Having a hard time trying to decide what to do for a converter. Had my mind set on a Suncoast 1056 but now teddy says he has a guy that builds his Converters and I've never heard of him and can't recall the name as I type this. 06 LLY Ppe hot plus 1 dual 4" exhaust. fass system to come. Having converter shutter under loading slippage on stage 3 tune. Every day driver tow my Racecar once a week and got a heavy foot. Just going to have him go through tranny smells burn. He says he'll do the pressure mods and valve body mods and other upgrades. But I'm stuck on converter can't decide.

I'm in CT. Teddy Christopher is an Allison only shop that's all he works on. I figured I couldn't go wrong. I really don't feel like traveling hours away. He's 20 min from me.

BT is in old lime that's not bad. I never knew that they were right in CT. I'll go see them and see what they have to say. I just want to do this once.

If you know about Teddy, then you probably also know people such as Dan Forgione, Spencer DAgostino, and Kevin Bass...just to name a few of my customers in your area. Teddy knows absolutely nothing about building an Allison 1000 for performance purposes. He may know the 545s really well, but that's about it. Nothing that he has built behind a tuned Duramax has lived more than a few months.

Nobody knows where Ben is. They just use the electronics devices to try and get a hold of him and hope they work where ever he may be!

I thought he was in Wyoming. Everyone left us high and dry in CT. Don't blame you, owning a business here is.... Something else.

Go see Evan, it isn't that far of a drive.

Those NE states are so small, everything is within 2 hours. Just go to Evan for gosh sakes.

Maybe Ben is running from the law? Maybe a young lady's angry father? Bootlegging?

All of the above, he's a multitasker.
