    A ballooned covertor (if you have one) will only create a bit more heat. Creates a lower stall and has an extremely hard time of "staying on" the lock up point. Like Richard said, who made it? If it was built right, no probs. If it's an el cheapo, Look out! I have always used personal favors from convertor techs to take stocker, rebuild it to my specs and really had good luck because of the extra fluid flowing through it for control, consistency, and not one episode of failure.

    What if the "Hokey Pokey" is what it's really all about?
