Translated into simple English, a converter like a Suncoast with a billet front cover and larger guts makes more sense.

Warp, when I called Suncoast the other day, the gentleman I talked to said that they don't put a billet cover on the torque converters for the CRD. That left me shocked and leaning towards a Euro TC. Are you sure they use a billet cover? I figure I'd ask you since you bought one. Thanks.

Talk to Ron Wolverton himself, sometimes the Sales guys are new and still learning, Suncoast is growing and new people get hired for the sales force that don't know it all yet or the guy was multi tasking working on a big sale to a 1200 HP monster truck and got mixed up when he was talking to you. All Suncoast torque converters have a billet front cover, they toss the old one in the scrap pile.

Warp, thanks for the quick response. I'll get a hold of Ron as soon as I can to discuss the TC and Transgo kit. As long as this is a $300 better TC than the Euro TC, then I'll go with it. Thanks for your help.

latest CRD Suncoast Torque Converters are made to handle ~400HP.
Does any one have a tune that cranks out that much?
I don't think so.
