Torque converter for V6

Ok im not much of a V6 guy.. im used to LS1's..
I just happened to pic up a 98 Camaro with a 3800 in it..
My question is what is the biggest, best convertor i can run in this while still being streetable... I only plan on doing ram-air, maybe headers and some weight reduction, maybe a cutout as well...

Are mid 14's possible with this?? OR what should i do...

i plan on swapping an LS1 in within 2-3 years...

Thanks
Dave

Sounds like you are about there!
if you go to a 3.73 a 4000 - 4200 will help
but what is your plans for the car?

thanks guys... Plans for the 3.8l are to run mid to low 14's without doing heads or cam..

drive for awhile and then in a few years swap an LS1 in..

Also it may be a possiblity that i will run a 50 - 100 shot wet with the 3.8l..

Any help will be appreciates..

Thanks
Dave
