Hmm, read a thing about torque converters today. I'd recommend you read through this.

What is a Torque Converter? - MustangForums.com

I won't be upgrading mine... Looks like it could get annoying on a daily driver.

I know Kirk bought one from dirty bird performance. I have one from there as well and it's a 9" convertor for less rotational mass, but it's a 4500 stall. They can customize one for you.....
