Most of the converters sold here are the stock diameter unless you specifically request a smaller one. We carry a new line of converters that are great to cruise with yet will snap your head back with torque. 3 year warrantee, unlimited re-stalls and less expensive than any other out there. Here's an example of one of these in action:

We have run these at 4500 on the street and guys love them. They really set you in your seat. All depends on your driving habits and what you prefer. If you like a little less slip, go with a 3800. Nice thing about these is that if you don't like how it feels, send it back for a re-stall.

Hey Mike, I just noticed that you are now a sponsor. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" /> congrats on signing up. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_cheers.gif" /> It just save me a lot of editing! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Razz]" src="gr_tounge.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

A 3000 stall in a 258 mm converter would probably work well. Yank and TCS both have good choices for your application.
