Well I toasted my sc tonight. I talked to Phil the other day. That's what I'll have in my dually. I'm considering though this winter chopping it down to a ccsb with a srw and slapping the danco in and some new chargers

Our custom spec precisions are beasts. Mine has been through hell and back, lots of other peoples have too. Haven't seem one skip a beat yet.

I have the RCD converter and it's great so far, I'm nowhere near the power levels of you guys though...

Im leaning towards swapping my standard sc for a dpc converter. I know a lot of guys that like precession but ive heard of them taking a dump on them just like the sc converters. Does phil have an expected release date on his new ones?

I have a 12" DPC going in a friends extra can next week, it makes roughly 1100 on the juice. We'll see how it acts. Hopefully te input shaft doesn't get stuck in it.

i'm starting to think that i'll need a new converter once i'm at 700 on the 37's. I don't have a lot of faith in the suncoast.

I snapped an input shaft in my first standard s/c, my second one let go all this was on the 275-300 tunes.

Then why is yours now sporting an RCD?

Because the standard SunCoast obviously couldn't handle the power. SunCoast said they would warranty the converter but it would cost me if I wanted to upgrade to something that could handle the power my truck was making (which I didn't think was very much). I was recommended the HD converter but did not want that stall speed with "stock style" turbo's. We decided to try the RCD converter instead of chancing it with the warrantied SunCoast converter....that had a warranty was going to run out within 4 weeks.

Going with the RCD converter was a good move it seems. Better driving characteristics and it has held up great for roughly 8,000 miles now.

Ya know...I completely quoted you wrong lol. I thought it read that it never let go under 650HP. My bad :doh:

I'm sorry but for an added price? That makes no sense to me. So for the added price you get a better tc than if you just stayed with the "standard" one?

I think its more like when you buy an extended warranty for a car. Pay more up front, and it saves you later.
