Help me choose a Torque Convertor
I have a 1998 Trans Am with full bolt ons,LS6 intake,LT headers,ORY pipe etc and a Comp Cams 232/238 595/601 112+2 Cam, the car definantly needs a stall convertor it seems to want to creep at idle with the stock stall. Any advice what would be a good convertor and stall size for my combo??? thanks
Car is mainly a show car but will see some track use

You'll probably want something in the 3600-4000 range although I would go with a 4k from my experience. I would obviously suggest FTI first but you can't go wrong with a Circle D/Yank either.

I love my 4,000 FTI. Mine is a 9 1/2 billet convertor. I DD my car 50 miles a day. Stock motor, I get right at 20 mpg with the way I drive and pull low 1.6 60's. I had the stock 3:23 gears at first and it was good but when I changed over to 373's it was so much better. My 373's gave up (did not get to break them in the right way) now I have 3:42's and it's still very good. I would not change a thing with the convertor it's perfect for my car, I can't wait to get a cam and really see what it will do.
