I'M GUESSING YOU NEED A 5150 STALL CONVERTER. IT'S A GUESS BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PROVIDE ANY INFORMATION ON THE ENGINE.

If you were racing seriously, you'd want both. A trans brake locks up the transmission to let you bring the engine up to the stall speed of the converter without moving the car. When you let the trans brake off, the car launches. If you were racing that seriously though, you probably wouldn't want to have a 700R4 anyway.

To choose the stall speed for the converter, you need to know where the curves peak, not just the peak numbers.
