its a company based out of Los Angeles and they custom make converters for applications. no off the shelf deals or something thats pre-made.

i guess if i get no response im gonna have to be the one to test and report with the track times soon!

I am also into pontiac bigblocks and I've heard a lot of good things about continental converters from other pontiac owners. Seeing as how the torque curve of a TPI is similar to a 455 pontiac I would think they have a good idea of what would work for you. Another thing I heard aobut them is they are very driveable compared to most of the other brands out there.

thanks Bartman,you couldn't pick another motor that could better relate to a pontiac than a TPI
