Torque Converter
depends on you and what your goals are for the car. how much track use will it see, are you worried about driveability? But as stated I would go with a YANK just need to figure out which one would work best for your car.
ive got a tci 3500...but even with my gearing i wouldve gone with a 3800 or higher stall if i knew what it would feel like before hand...id recommend at least a 3800 depending on what supporting mods you are planning.

I'm mainly posting so I can stay abreast on the follow-up posts to this thread. I'm going to buy a torque converter in the near future, and this is very helpful info to reference.
My car won't be a daily driver by the time I'm ready to install one, so I'll go more aggressive.....

Well, I take this car out on the weekends when I cruise. I take it to the track once in awhile. So I still use it on the street for cruising, now, what would you guys suggest?
