We run the Dedenbear TS6 which I (and many others) think is by far the most consistent and reliable one in the business. But there are limitations to it, and if you have a huge HP motor some people are finding you can't shut it down enough.

We, for example, with 900HP can't get the TS6 to go below 4000 RPM no matter what we do. That number works for us, but for others with bigger HP, they have to be on the stop for an hour and a half at 4K and they'd prefer something lower. So they end up using in a linkage stop and going down to, say 3600.

Whichever you choose, I strongly recommend that you choose an air stop. The ability to carefully control the speed of on, and more importantly off, the stop is crucial. You can come off the stop with less trauma with an air stop.

Hope this helps,
Chris
