I ran a complete TCI Super Streetfighter 350 tranny kit in my Monte Carlo and it took all the punishment I could throw at it from burnouts, hard launches, and doughnuts galore and the only thing I ever did to it was change the fluid and filter.

I need help in picking the correct torque converter. The car is a cruiser - no racing but some brisk acceleration at times. If I had to choose between an extra MPG vs an extra second in the 1/4 mi, I'll take the MPG. Am I correct in assuming that a low stall speed will be best choice. ? Will a converter from the parts store serve me as well as one from B&M or TCI? Will there be a difference in a stock replacement for a 90 camaro vs stock replacement for a 90 pickup? thx -- Rick Schaefer 72 TPI El Camino
