Durability is must for torque converters, trying to save a few dollars can cost you thousands when it takes out the transmission. The weakest link is the lock up clutch. Typically if the converter has a billet front and billet lock up piston, it is a strong converter. I would suggest our 3C stall in the Billet Street/Strip Series. The 3C is rated at 3500-3700 and will have very nice street manors with the 3.73 gears. Here is a link to our website with more info. Good luck and PM or call if you have any more questions.
