Xtreme Performance Transmissions?

[Sweet_Johnny]

I ran a Hughes converter for years and never had a problem. It flashed and stalled exactly where it was supposed to. It worked extremely well. This was many years ago mind you, it’s entirely possible (probable?) that the quality has changed since then.

I don't have extensive personal experience with them but I've seen multiple that were just plain bad (more TCI than Hughes). Friends of mine at the strip as well as the doughnut had issues with chatter, improper stall speed, and the stator. I know one guy that lost a season because of TCI. Everyone makes mistakes, and it's been quite a while since this happened but it seems there are "better" options available nowadays. They certainly ran at the head of the pack for a while, and still do for some, but I have a hard time trusting any of the old mainstays because the generation that took over can't be trusted to know their product anymore. Yank, Circle D, and Pro Torque appear to be superior in my eye but it's good to hear a positive review. Enough of them will get me to change my mind.

Still no positive information but thought I'd post the reply to a YouTube comment of mine on an Aces Quick Draw video.

i feel a lot's changed out there.I'm a believer there's always a +/- percentage of faulty units with most anything manufactured, it happens rite? A buddy of mine bought a 727 from tci and it leaked at the pump seal.he called them,they song and danced because he's not running a tci converter-the pump seal isn't going to seal properly etc etc.so takes bait,springs for their unit,we r&i everything,still leaks.they send us another unit,this one's worse.(at this point my buddies reallllly not happy)they say"here's the BOL,send this one back, and we'll send you another unit on the house & refund your money".my buddy flipped that unit on marketplace and had his O.G unit rebuilt through a friend of a friend that he didn't know exsisted.no problem. every time we marked the units in such a way to make sure we weren't getting the same one over and over.
like Smitty in Hollywood knights said"nothing stays the same remember that"...

I wouldn’t buy any trans from an internet site. But I also don’t buy anything from internet people (that I don’t know) that I can’t return.

I contact every vendor, on the phone, that I purchase from. If they make me feel uneasy in the conversation, then I leave them alone.
