As a rule, you'll want to avoid B&Ms overdrive converters. I've been using and selling Protorque converters for 7 years. From a performance and reliability standpoint there's no better converter out there. We have many customers running Yank converters with pretty good success too. Our findings with converters pretty much follow the old rule, "You get what you pay for" A poorly built converter will not only perform worse, but many "cheaper" converters fail. When a converter fails, it will take the transmission with it most cases. A poorly built converter will generate more heat, and will cost performance because of their inefficiency.
The Vigilantes USED TO BE a quality converter. Their quality has went downhill rapidly in the past 5-6 years. We've seen them fail in as little as 2 months. Then again, I've had them that wouldn't even fit in a transmission because they were built wrong. That would have been excuseable if the owner didn't argue with me for an hour on the phone before I proved it was their error. Avoid B&M, TCI and Edge also.
