tourqe converter

Will a new B&M tourqe converter make much of a difference to a stock 700R4?

A torque converter will definitely make a big difference when matched correctly, but don't get a B&M.

If you would not get a B&M, what would you suggest?, How can I match it correctly?, Through my gear ratio? if so Iam putting 3.73 in soon.

You match the torque converter to your cam and induction. You want the engine to flash up into the power band when you take off.

Another really good TC is Midwest Converters. They aren't as expensive as some of the bigger companies but they are just as good. I am running a 2800 stall and it made a big difference in my car.
