I bought a new rebuilt Vega 10" converter years ago (15-20 years ago) (about $60-$80 dollars back then) for my 250 -6 Camaro.
IIRC, I got about 2500-2700 brake stall, it actually work pretty good, did not feel all mushy when just driving around.
I had 4:10 gears & car weighed about 3300 LBS.
It did break after about 2000-3000 miles, it could not hold up to my manual valve body TH350 trans.
One of my friends used a B&M 3500 stall 10" nitrous converter.
He could only get 2800 brake stall & this was on a 385 SBC Bowtie iron heads 10.25:1 compression & 3800 LB car.
When running a NOS "cheater " plate system, we ran the 175-200 HP jets & then the converter would flash stall to 3500.
He asked to re-stall the converter @ B&M, they said bring it in for a free re-stall, he never got around to bring it in.
Best time in a 4000 LB Camaro 11.36 @ 119 MPH This was about 20 years ago.
I have heard the B&M's are tight converters & do not feel mushy, for the most part.
I would pick a Hughes over a B&M J.M.O.
