- Why should I buy from you?
First off,we are not affiliated with any "large" chains. We are an independent retailer of quality performance products made in the USA and Europe.
Secondly, We are car nuts ourselves, so we won't sell cheap crap because we started this business get away from it!
Third, We test each product on our own cars BEFORE we offer it to you.
Lastly, by purchasing from us you are helping to keep the American dream alive!
- Where do you ship to?
Currently we ship to addresses in the US and several other select countries. If your country is not listed in the pull down box during checkout, this means we are not cleared to ship there.
We are limited to these areas due to risk of fraud. If you live outside of these areas please contact us about purchasing and we will make a determination as to the risk.
- There are so many companies selling AN fittings, what makes the brand you carry better?
Yes its true. Recently the market has become flooded with companies marketing AN fittings and supplies. This is due to the fact that many of them are made in Asia by the same manufacturer who private labels them for the majority.
Our fittings are made right here in good ole Connecticut USA by a company named Fragola Performance Systems.
Each part is machined in-house to Military specs and is made from certified material. The fit and finish of these parts are like fine jewelery. The Fragola family believes in American craftsmanship and won't sacrifice it for larger profit margins.
- Do you offer sponsorships?
Currently we do not.
We are a small family operation and cannot justify the dollars required for a decent sponsorship package.
We will however, be offering a drawing each month for everyone that signs up for our newsletter. The prize will vary from month to month. So make sure you check off the newsletter box when you register your account!
- Why don't you rate your converters by stall speed?
When stall speed converters first came on the market they were rated by what effective rpm it took to lock up the converter by standing on the brakes and flooring the accelerator. This was by no means scientific or real world.
Today, we have come to learn that stall speed is determined by the torque output of the engine. You can take a 10" converter that stalls at 3200 rpm on a small block and put it behind a big block and have it stall 3800 rpm. The amount of torque applied to the converter changes the slip rpm and the lockup.
This is why it is so critical to fill out the converter order form with as much info as you can. If you know the hp and torque of your engine you are able to get a more accurate stall speed setting.
- What are the differences in the levels of transmission that you offer?
We offer Dynamic's complete line of Street/Strip, Basic Comp units, Upgraded Comp for higher HP, and various transbrake equipped units, including the Mighty Mite, M2 and the full line of Pro-Tree 2 Glides.
Also, we offer units for NHRA, which range from Stock Eliminator, Super Stock, and Open Comp transmissions. For Mustangs, we have basic street/strip parts, all the way up to Pro 5.0 type transmissions.
We also offer: Vasco Jet output shafts, Vasco Jet input shafts, Low ratio gear sets, new carriers, rollerized planetaries, Alto High Performance Red Eagle frictions, and Kolene Steels, Kevlar bands, and Teflon sealing rings.
All of these parts are either installed originally on our transmissions, or are options that the customer can choose at the time of purchase. It is Dynamic's custom approach to each sale that allows the customer to get the most of what he needs at the best price. They have also made it a point to warranty entry-level transmissions the same as the more expensive ones.
- What sets your converters apart from other companies?
There are several reasons that TCT converters differ from other companies. Since converter selection is different for each and every customer, it is their personal service.
At TCT, the converter is selected by the converter technician, who has his hands on each facet of the assembly operation. This is vitalto the customer, whose car and combination needs a properly selected converter to assure proper performance.
It can't be said enough, one size converter does NOT fit all.
TCT is on the leading edge of converter technology, whether it is being installed in a 6-second Pro car, or your daily driver. Every TCT converter is custom designed to fit your individual needs, and they rely on their years of experience to help determine what will work best for each combination.
Another factor that sets them apart is component selection. Constant research and development, not only on converter performance, but also on individual components, helps them to pick the best parts for each customer. Stator and Sprag design and development are critical to the proper performance of your torque converter.
Their assembly technique is another area which is critical to performance, and something that cannot be compromised. Concentrating on strength and durability has paid huge dividends to their customers, along with working with some of the racing industry's most successful engine builders. Their input on changes in engine technology has been huge in our converter development. They also work with many, many racers in the NMRA, Fun Ford, NHRA, and IHRA circuits.
- What does the "AN" mean under the Fragola parts description?
AN stands for Army Navy and was a standardized designation created during World War II for the manufacture of hydraulic fittings for aircraft.
The dash sizes corrolate to the standard size in 16ths of an inch. So a -8AN would mean 8/16ths of an inch or 1/2" i.d.
- What is the correct way to check transmission fluid level?
The most accurate way is to have the car on a level surface with the engine running and the car in park.
Have someone sit in the driver's seat with their foot on the brake pedal.
With the engine at operating temperature and idling, pull out the dipstick and wipe it clean. Re-install the stick for a moment then pull it out again and check the level on the stick.
If it needs more fluid, add it in small amounts making sure not to overfill.
- Why are some products shipped separately in the check out area?
We have secured some very good pricing from our vendors on our larger products.
In order to give you, the consumer the best possible price we arranged for certain, big ticket items to be dropshipped directly from the manufacturer.
This saves you money because we don't have the added shipping cost of sending the product to us first.
Our checkout is designed to offer you the best pricing available at the time of purchase.
- I purchased some of your microfiber products and was wondering how to clean them after use?
Microfiber is a revolutionary new material made from microspun polyester/nylon mixed thread. This enables the fibers to draw the dirt up into the product like a sponge without dragging and causing streaks.
To clean these products simply put them in your washing machine using hot water and laundry detergent.
DO NOT USE FABRIC SOFTENER!!!! It clogs the fibers and can cause streaking.
You can air dry or place them in the dryer without a dryer sheet.
Microfiber can be reused approximately 200-500 times before they need to be replaced.
