Ok, I'm looking to get a torque converter as well as a transmission....does anyone have any recommendations as far as brand? I hear the TCI Street Fighter is a great, cheap converter....

What stall speed would be the best for my combination? My power curve doesn't really get strong until 3000 rpms...so I was thinking a 3000 stall, 12" converter....BUT, this is going to be a daily driver.... That's the problem...I think 3000 is too much stall for a daily...what would it behave like? Would I constantly be running around at almost 3000 rpms??

Thanks all.
