if your converter is going bad you will most likely notice that the flash stall will increase and or mph will drop off and rpm will rise at the top end from slippage

thats what my old converter did

my turbo action 8" 4400 stall has about 1,000 passes on it

ron has the same converter in his dart and its about 10 years old

glen has a 10" turbo action that is about 20 years old its starting to ballon behind his bb dart on the trans brake

My Turbo Action converter had about 700+ runs when I sold it and the guy who bought it is still running it. Now I have a 8" ATI Treemaster and it picked me up another two tenths. I would stay away from GER's as I could give you the names of at least 10 different people that trouble with them.
