My car is a street car only. I have gt40X heads, Comp Cam XE264HR cam, GT 40 tubular intake, exhaust, tb, etc. I have an AOD with a trans cooler, silverfox stage 1 valve body, 3:73 rear gears, I am looking to upgrade my torque converter. Now I know the custom ones are probably the best, and I have contacted a few tc builders and got quotes as well as the specs they recommend. I am looking for real world opinions on if the price for a custom converter is worth it for my street only car? (we don't even have a track here) If I go custom I am looking at $1000 plus shipping to Hawaii which is another $100+. If I go with an "off the shelf" converter like TCI Street Fighter it is half the price, and I can get free shipping with Amazon. Will I feel the additional $600 value in a custom converter or not? I don't mind spending money to get it right but if I am not going to notice anything substantial on the street I would prefer the budget route.
Thanks
Chris
