    so i shouldnt try to build an "budget" 11s 4 door too?? yeah i cant afford it anyways. once i hit 450rwhp im done... i just wanna be able to say "yeah its a 500 (crank) hp 4 door..."

    i agree with him though on the brand of converter. never heard of them and theyre site looks kinda low budget... stick with a good known brand such as Yank, Circle D, FTI...

    I never heard of them either, but I never heard of Circle D until this site either.

    I'm hoping 450rwhp and a Yank 3200 gets me 11's. Definately going to need some DR's.
