Default Dp i have to rebuild my trans if i put in a tci converter in?

i just bought a tci street fighter converter for my 01 Trans am
3600 stall
Car has 55,000 mile son it.
trans shifts fine etc
I really dont have the money to build the trans right now i got a quote from trans pro out of hammond indiana and they said 1400$ to make it reliable for 600hp
i also have a trans cooler and trans temp gauge so i know my trans wont be getting hot any time soon
Should i install the converter or wait awhile to put it in when i can afford a rebuild on trans.

How long do you guys think the trans will last

car has full exhaust and a intake

also i daily drive the car and the car will p roably see the track like 3 times this year if that

I voted no, Which kind of goes against the grain considering what I do but 55000 is not very high milage and from what your saying the car isnt abused though I imagine it will be a little more for a while after you get converter in . But as long as you dont build up to much or get overly carried away the trans may last you quite a long time. I would get a cooler and change the fluid and filter while I was putting the converter in.
But looking at you question im not sure voted right , I meant you should be able to go ahead and put it in i think ?
