if you drive the thing on the street, I'd steer clear. Remember, your cruise RPM needs to be higher than the TQ stall speed. 3 grand is a lot of revs for cruisin' main...

302crew, that sounds good for you combo on a street driven car. Not sure how you ET's will turn out with the auto. If your going just as a drag car, then I might go with a little bit higher stall.

Seeing as how you race the car, to figure out the best converter for your setup, you need to get some dyno time. Figure out where peak torque and peak HP is. Then get the converter that is about 2-400 RPM below peak torque.
