I'm thinking of getting a torque converter for my next goodie. I do not want to lose any streetability, I'm a 20 year-old college student and still live at home so my parents sometimes drive the car. Under normal driving conditions how noticable is a torque converter? Don't want my parents freaking out on me. I don't know much about torque converters, so what should I look for in the way of stall speeds, etc.? I plan to eventually upgrade the rear end, tranny, and engine in a couple years, and at that time I will replace the torque converter again. But in the meantime, how much more strain will this put on the exisiting factory driveline pieces? My current bolt-ons are listed below. Thanks for educating an ignorant (for now) newbie.

 

You'll probably find more information specific to your car on "LS1 Tech". Moving thread there......

 

I'd start by checking out www.converter.cc/frequently_asked_questions.htm lots of good info. A lot depends on the stall you're looking at. I love my Vig but it took me a while to get used to it. I'd recommend a trans cooler and stickier tires if you get one.
