    RevMax Torque Converters: Cheap pricing

    I just got off the phone with revmax. I was interested in them because I'm broke right now and I need to get a cheap stall to complete my 4l80e swap. I asked about their stage 3 4l80e ($335 w/shipping) verter that they have listed on Ebay. THey said that particular one would burn up with the amount of power/weight I have within 6 months so they suggested I go with their level 5 Converter. I was intending to buy a cheapo verter till it burns out till I could afford a Circle D or a Yank but guess what? The guy says the Stage 5 is the same manufacturer of the Yank and that they are virtually identical.
    Revmax stage 5=$725+$35 shipping
    Yank =$900 to 925+shipping

    Hmm, if the guy isn't "Yanking" my chain I think that's a pretty damn good deal. Plus they come with a 2 year warranty. Anybody else run these verters?

    Yep, got one of there level 2 in my 1/2 ton 4l60e. It supposed to stall around 2800, I havn't seen quite that, but otherwise no complaints. Its basically a reflashed 12" stock verter. Its a nice little bump in performance. Nothing like what your talking about though.

    My opinion when you get told a cheaper product is made by another high end company it's bs. Chinese knock-offs are notorious for this.

    You get what you pay for. If a converter goes out, the trans is probably going with it.

    The gay at Revmax stated that his converters were manufactured at the same company who manufactures yank. I don't know if that's bs or not. but the guy said If I could find a difference between yank and revmax other than the name he would give me a refund.

    I thought about it but the stock verter had black oil in it and I just cleaned my trans out pretty damn good so I didn't want to get that crap back in there again. I dunno, I heard you can have the verters flushed but that's, what, $80 bucks or so?
