Post AOD converter questions...

It's that time of year again... time for more mods... I have about $400-500 to spend. I'd really like to get a new converter(car is still kind of slow off the line even with the 4:10 gears) but had a few questions. If my tranny dies(starts slipping, clutches get fried etc) will my converter die with it or can I re use it with a new tranny.(yes I have a tranny cooler) I heard that with a nonlockup converter if you're in 3rd gear and floor it, it flashes to your stall speed(cruising in 3rd at 40mph at 2krpms and when you hit it, it would jump to 2800 or whatever stall is). Also I know a lot of you guys run PI Stallions and they are the best etc etc but I really can't afford one. Anyone else running a diff brand of converter and like it? What kind of et improvments did you get?
