Default Torque Convertor for my truck???

I want to put a higher stall convertor in my truck. I have in the garage a stock torque convertor out of a 2000 Camaro SS that I can have rebuilt. A place in Houston said they could up the stall for me for $275. Should I do this? Or is it not worth it and I should just save up for a Yank?

I'd save up, especially if you want max performance.

They're on sale now. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

A restalled stock converter will never touch the performance of a smaller, lighter, more efficient high stall converter from Yank. I have a Yank Truck Thruster 3000 in my Tahoe. Dropped my 1/4 mile times over 6 tenths and it's perfectly streetable. My wife drives it every day with 4 kids and loves it.
