[QUOTE="330CubeGt, post: 1251944, member: 10623"] I think i would go spragless, Just my opinion. I have some input but on a entry level automatic/stall perspective... To make my life easier posting a reply I went ahead and found the perfect explanation to help you make your decision.. In my opinion again, I think I would try out a Circle D converter, Or something from FTI. There also big names in the industry and both stand behind there product and are in the same price range as the links you have posted above. 1. Spragless Pros - If you couple it with a steel stator it is almost indestructible, and with noting to slip they are very consistent. For 1/8 mile almost no ET or MPH difference. Cons - 1/4 mile ET and MPH loss, even with the best. 2. Sprag Pros - Better ET and MPH over a Spragless in the 1/4 Cons - They can slip and cause inconsistencies, or break and cause havoc. 3. Diode Much the same advantages as a sprag, and usually without the destructive or slipping issues a sprag can have. I say usually, I have a TS converter that "failed" twice with the MD, not sure what the failure was but was told it was the diode. Second time I had it changed to be spragless. Lost a tenth and 2-3 MPH. [/QUOTE]
