I have always heard aftermarket converters are best....all around 
Going to race my buddy in his A4.
Going to race my buddy in his A4. A buddy of mine has a 2002 SS with the same mods as my self, my mods are in my sig, Long Tube Headers, Exhaust, Pulley,Throttle body. Except he does not have a Torque Converter.
I am sure I will beat him from a Dig. Can I beat him from a Roll with my TCI 3500 stall?

depends on what speed you race him from a roll.
the higher the speed you race him from, the more advantage he has.
converter efficiency starts to play a roll and the stock converter has more efficiency up top.

from a 90 mph roll my buddies vette beat me before i installed a cam.
i raped him off the line and low speeds back then all the time.
Well alot depends on who is faster, or more hp to (DUH). Hell there may be a 20 hp swing either way depending on the car. I say you'll spin to much from the dig and he'll get ahead but thats a perfect world race which it won't be. Go race and find out.
