Default Torque Convertor

With my listed future mods, can anyone tell what kind of Torque Convertor I should get?

I'd go with a 2800 TC.. Also, you might want to reconsidder your 58mm throttle body.. For those heads, ported, I think its a little too big.. I'd stick with a 52mm..

Although its not my most favorite converter, I would have to agree that a Precision Industries (Vigilante) 2800 converter ($695 at racenet.net) is a good starting point. It is worth .2 in 60 foot and about .4 in the quarter, depending on traction.

Go with a Vigilante 2600-2800 stall, should lower your times.
