Yup, a high stall convertor is like a big cam. You don't get somethin' for nothin'. It's all a trade off.

The 2200 and 2400 series converters are a nice mod for the daily drivers because they add a big boost in performance off the line yet aren't too "slippery" requiring a large amount of gas to get going. They also flash real nice into the powerband when rolling....

The reason I'm looking for a smaller one is because it's for my wife's car. She's wanting a 3.42 gear and small TC that won't hurt her milage too bad, while letting her "light-em-up" for the guys that think she's got a "girly" car that's all show and no go.
She does drive it every day, and gas is still hovering around $3.00
