Throw in your.02 on Torque Converter Suggestion

He's got this!!!! intended use is how you pick parts based on what you already have aquired, pick the other parts to match what you have based on intended use :)
Transman,

You are the voice of reason. I was thinking for the way I will use this car, there is no reason to use anything other than a stock converter.
Thanks for your recommendation, and I'll look into the CR8H unit.

Thanks to all for your input
