Anybody use B&M 3000 rpm stall converters?

[Mrturner1]

I recently did a top end on my truck and used a Comp 280H magnum cam. It needs about 2500 rpm of stall, so I went the cheap route and got a white box B&M 2200-2600 rpm converter. Short version, that converter doesn't stall at all, the truck bucks at stop lights and the place I bought it will take it back if I buy the 3000 rpm one. That saves me about 180 bucks which would be great if the 3000 rpm stalls are worth a crap because the one I got wasn't. Maybe it was because it was a cheap white box converter, or maybe B&M isn't great to begin with but I'm hoping some of you have experience with these as I do not.

The 600 dollar Coan is in the plans, but those are distant plans so keep it about the one available to me if possible. Thanks guys

i havent read up on the b&m converters but on LS1-tech and performance-trucks i see guys swear by either Yank or Circle D.

Granted thats for LS based motors but im going with a Circle D 3200 rpm for my truck

For what it's worth, I've been using a B&M 3000 converter for about 15 years and have had no issues. It's been through a lot to say the least. It's been a great street converter behind my small block with a 515/300 cam.

This is awesome news. If it turns out the B&M 3000 is good, then it would really benefit me seein's how they are going to give me store credit for the one I have now that doesn't stall at all. Would be 1/4 of the price of a new Coan or FTI for sure.
