Did I buy the wrong TC, should I have gone with the smaller diameter, perhaps I should have started this thread before I bought the Hughes one .Here is were I am now : first I shopped Summit and they tried to sell me a Hughes # GM 20 BPO 400 BP , I cancelled that deal and shopped more and found this : ACC PERFORMANCE - Through Boss Hog # 46022 street bandit with 10" diameter, that is supposed to give me an extra 35 HP, I did not buy it because there was only 90 day Warranty . Next I went directly to Hughes so I can speak to any one who could answer my questions. At that time I thought I might have a Switch Pitch converter, turns out to be negative on that idea. Hughes said the 10" converter will run to hot in my 428 ci Th 400 and Gear Vendors application. So they sell me this: GM 20 BPO HD 400 BP AND TELL ME THIS TC can BE USED IN A (RV) application. This is the Heavy Duty version of the one Summit almost sold me on. Since this is my first TC I have ever purchased The question is "will a 10" TC run to hot in my application or have I yet again been miss informed by a salesman?"
