I guess to simply things I'd just like to know what combination of flex plate and torque converter is eat for my setup. Again I'm no expert so any and all advice would be greatly appreciated.
again i say if it ain't broke and has not given you any reason to change it then i would go with just a flex plate and get the weights off current converter
but if you are insistent on a new converter i would suggest a inexpensive stock OEM type converter and B&M flex plate. it sounds like you have a pretty stock type setup so a OEM type should be just fine. I have heard a lot of different numbers on stock converters but i think they could go anywhere from the 1800-2500 stall range
so if you wanted to stick with the stock flex plate and go with a weighted (maybe 2500 stall max) converter
or get OEM type non weighted converter and a B&M flexplate
sorry i cant give you an exact brand but im sure summit/jegs or maybe even one of our sponsors here could help you on exact brand that would be better than the others.
i hope at some point somebody will give you a better idea on brands that are better than others
