This isnt the right forum, but ill answer it, you should check out the Auto tranny forum, I would defiantly shop around, TCI, YANK, VIG, all make very reputable converters. You should check out the sponsors--->. I love my TCI SSF 3500, and if I were you I would get AT LEAST a 3500 stall. Good Luck man

I watched a car with that stall pull a 1.52 60' this weekend. Of course, that is with heads, cam, all bolt ons, weight reduction, etc.
I have the TCI SuperStreetfighter 3500, and I think it is the one to go with. You should really consider it. I couldn't tell a difference in drivability between me TCI 3000 and TCI 3500 really.

I wonder if I just throw 500 in cash in the center console will cut my 1/4 by a half a second

Yeah, that run was -775 DA on worn out BFG Drag Radials and some weld skinnies up front.
Some weight reduction too, but nothing too serious. Front Sway bar removed, all seats removed, spare tire and jack, all other crap in car, etc.
I am shooting for 11s as it sits right now.
