Sprag or spragless

I've joined.

So when would be a good time to go spragless? Is it a NOS vs all motor deal? I'm starting to shop around for a 4500-5000 stall for my 466 mud truck that will see occasional shot of NOS (no more than 250). Reading around the web, it seems that I would need spragless, but after reading this, now I'm not sure.

I recently asked this question to a local, reputable converter guy. He said spragless converters tend to be stronger and offer greater consistency but at the expense of a little ET and mph. He only recommends them for guys putting down a butt ton of torque who bracket race constantly and aren't concerned with the slight performance losses that are supposedly inherent.

so for a solid roller 466 that will see occassional shots (no more than 250) of NOS, I can save a few $$ and be safe with a converter that has a sprag in it?
