Sorry for my ignorance guys, I don't know too much about the tranny and converter I just put in my car, I bought it off a friend for cheap money...but is that an anti-ballooning plate on the face of the converter??
One more question. I know anti-balloon plates are used in high torque or nitrous applications, but what exactly is their purpose???

It looks to me to be more like an inertia plate. Anti-balloon plates are located between the hub (or pilot) and the body (cover) of the converter, on both the front and rear halves.
The purpose of the A-B plates is to help prevent axial growth of the converter, due to the extreme fluid pressures developed within the converter by very high output engines.
