GTA,

You could send about $400 (US) to me so that I could evaluate the effects of installing a higher stall torque converter in one of my cars. I would supply a detailed, typewritten report of extremely high quality specifically describing the benefits and detriments of such an installation in a performance car - if you were so inclined...

Otherwise, you could spend the cash on your car and work on the other major restrictions in your system. For that much cash you could get a really nice cam profile, heads and valves to match, and still have money left for a ported plenum, AFPR, CD ignition, and all synthetic fluids. That should get your performance into the "respectable" category.

Vader
