Default Converter issues

I was talking to some ***** tonight and he had an LS1 powered Camaro also. He said that I SHOULD NOT get a converter and it will SLOW me down????? He said I would have to pay MTI $500 to pay for the torque managment to be deleted. Other than torque managment, what else would i have to get done to make sure the converter was running good and my car not to be slow? I want to get the Vig. 3200 in the near future.thanx.

Get a converter and then proceed to smoke his ***. T/M is not an issue with 98s. You will need sticky tires, drag radials or ET Streets to take full advantage of your new found power and speed.

hes just afraid your gonna kick his *** if you get a converter. get one and flash him your hazards as you fly past. do a little looking around on here or call up a converter company before you buy one though. we(or they) can help you decide what is the right one for your application.
