Default Continental Torque Converters

My car 1993 Trans Am LT1 88K miles

My buddy wants to sell me one that is 10" in diameter. With his 750HP he said he could get it to flash to 41-4200a rpm it has a Stall Rating from www.CTConverters.com of 3200RPM.

First what does flash to mean?

2nd, Do you think it would be a good choice for me with these specs?

TURBO 400 RMVB TRANS BRAKE
3.90-4.10 REAR END
LONG TUBE HEADERS
POSSIBLY 100-150HP NITROUS
Aftermarket lower control and torque arms
this will be a 95% fun track car

Thanks,

Joe
