Default Last Minute Torque Converter Question???

Please help me select a Torque Converter, and the correct stall for my setup. I'm guessing 2600 - 2800 I haven't had any engine work done, just gears, exhaust custom chip, and other add ons.
Also please give me a few respectable names, I'm not sure which type the shop normally uses. I drop off the car on Saturday

I don't think you need a Stall Convertor. With no engine mods and 3.73's you gotta fry the tires now pretty good! Going to a higher stall will fry em more and you'll be outta your power band in no time.

If you go to like a mini ram and a bigger cam then you may need a stall.

Is your convertor toast now or something?

Jim(65 Z01) would be the best guy to answer this question.

2800 works for LT1's, don't know about the L98.

James, no problem with my converter, infact the trans is only about 3 months old. I've heard/read that they improve ET's by 3 or 4 tenths, so that's why I wanted to get one. If I don't need one or it wouldn't give me the 3 to 4 then I won't get it.

I need more advice!!!
