We have all heard you get what you pay for when it comes to convertors. I have read about some impressive ET reductions of people you switch to JPT convertors.
My question is that my current Convertor is a 10" Dacco that flashes to @4000-4200 RPM but I have a C6 and am planning on swapping in a C4 if I were to take the pluge and purchased a JPT convertor for my C4 would the combination of the C4 and the JPT drastically reduce my ET like some of the stories I have heard. what can of numbers could I expect.

Here is my experience. I had a C6 with a GER(yuck!)converter that stalled to 4500rpm. I switched to a custom JPT converter that stalled to 4900rpm. My ETs dropped over a half second. 60' got better and MPH got better. I then switched to a roller C4 with the same converter and I lost another .15-.2 tenths.
My advise it to do it. The cost is hard to swallow, but it's worth it.
JPT is very good to work with also.
