What's the matter with the one you have in the car now? If I were to buy a converter, it would be a Vigilante by Precision Industries. When I was racing my GN powered Turbo Trans Am, nobody made a good lockup converter that would handle any significant power except them. Awesome converter. I have no reason to believe that they haven't gotten better.
