Default 3.73's plus 3800 Torque converter on turbocharged car??

Edit: This is a 3.8L

I dont know if its gonna benefit me to keep the 3.73's and put a 3800 torque converter on with my turbo setup or should i swap out the 3.73's for some 3.23's with the 3800 stall?? it seems like a turbocharged car moves alot faster with 3.23's or 3.42's....

I still don't know why people insist on guessing what converter to buy, when you can get a custom built converter for your application for the SAME price. WTF?

They still have to decide where they want it.

I am kinda new to FI, but i plan to go that route in the future. From what I read, that seems to be kind of high for a turboed car. I am going to keep my 2.73s and see how they work out. I would go back to 3.23s, but this is coming from a newbee.
