Choose your poison.

You're not doing gears before doing a converter are you?

I have considered a stall but what I am looking for more is for street and freeway. I doubt I will ever take it to the track. I just take it out once to twice a week.

Whoooa, torque converters aren't just for the drag strip! You need to find somebody local with a nice Vigilante 3200 or similar and go for a ride. Your car will be (and feel) much faster on the street with a converter, rather than gears.

I second Hooper's Rearend. When I ate up my 10 bolt, they set me up with 3.73 gears, new bearings, fluid, labor, and tax for under $500

I agree with Micah, plus your fuel mileage won't go down on long (fwy) trips. I used to have a Vig3200, best damn converter I have owned!

I agree with the converter and would also recommend Hoopers in Sun Valley. Talk to anthony over there. It's a shady area, but they know their stuff.
