Default Bogarts or Torque converter

I am at a crossroads and am not sure what to do. I can get a good deal on front Bogart skinnies and tires. I can get a PI Torque Converter for a little less. Not sure which would be best. Well Know Eric suggested the bogarts first. I can only afford to buy the fronts,and I am not sure how much that will help. I know the Torque converter will give me a 1/2 second reduction on my ET. With the TC I will also have that all the time.The Bogarts have to come off after the track. I know Plstang will tell me to go with the Bogarts so later I can dial in on the Tc`s stall. SHITZU sounds like I just answered my own question. I would just like some feedback on what 2 Bogart skinnies can do.

Yea both would be great. To bad I do not have a money tree. Yea the Torque Converter sounds really good. I pm`ed Plstang and I hope he can find time to get back on this. Thanks Reggie I have to jump on the deal soon. So it is decision time.

You'll get more from the converter. Harder launch and lower ET's as opposed to just a couple of pounds of weight loss.

Another vote for the converter. Like Reggie said best bang for the buck. You may be able to pick up used wheels and tires down the road or even borrow a set for a day at the track.
