You have a 4L60E transmission. A Torque converter multiplies torque. That makes no sense to me either. What it really does is make your car much faster off the line, assuming you have traction tires. On street tires you will be able to almost fry them at will. It makes your car feel like it has an additional 50 horsepower. A 3500 stall should knock at least a half second off your quarter mile times. Find someone in your area that has an aftermarket converter in their car and see if they'll let you drive it. You will be convinced instantly. Many of our sponsors sell converters, just check a few of their web sites.
