You need to read how they build their converters. They are the best. http://converter.com/

In a few years after I graduate I will put one in, I just can't spend the $$$ now.

I've heard good things about the B&M Holeshot.

There are a lot of things to consider besides just the stall speed. IE. efficiency ratio, Stall Torque Ratio (STR), Diameter, materials etc. Look at yank converters web page and do some reading as well.

Give Andre a ring at http://www.edgeracingconverters.com . Even if you don't buy, you'll come away a much more informed person.
