A converter is a lot like a cam. Sure, you can ask on the internet, and you'll probably get a few random responses that are somewhat close to what you actually need, but your best bet is to actually go and talk to a professional converter guy. A pro converter dude is going to set you up with exactly what you need.

It may also help a lot if you dyno your car so you know where your power and torque curve are so the pro can better recomend you a converter. Like NikwoaC said, it's like a cam.

Shoot at e-mail to Alan Brown at Alan@dirtydogperformance.com
Give him all your vehicle details, engine specs, gearing, tire size, and he'll fix you up with a suitable converter.

Yes, he and his products have an excellent reputation on various Mustang forums so I wouldn't hesitate buying from him.
