When it comes to Torque converters, they are a perfect example of "u get what u pay for" Some ppl buy the cheaper ones, such as B&M, TCI, or SLP. A lot of people are very happy with them, however, some ppl do not see significant gains, or the stalls fail on them. If u go with a quality brand, such as Vigilante or Yank, u see a better difference in performance and they are bullet proof, yet more expensive.
www.ls1speed.com or www.racenet.net have good prices on the end torque converters

I have been looking at converters as well. I bought a used one, and it crapped out pretty much. I refuse to pay $735 for a vigilante stall, I don't care how good it is.
I think I'm going with a midwest stall converter, it's $539. They have been highly recommended to me. Do a search for them on the web and check them out.

Also consider a Midwest converter. I have the 3000 2.5 str and i love it. 2 free re-stalls and same warranty as the big guys just a few hundred dollars less.

Hey, thanks for all the replies, I'm going to check out all of the sites you guys suggested...except maybe racenet.com...I'm still a little confused on which stall range to go with...someone said to go no less than 2800 and someone else said to go no higher than 2800...more opinions would be helpful...thanks Jason

2800 for the street because you'll barely notice it
3000 is a happy median
if you think you might add a hotcam kit.. or even RR's, go 3000 or so
dotn go above 3400 on stock cam and heads from what i've read here.

Just got an e-mail back from a guy at Midwest. He said they have a few converters for under or right around $500. I'm gonna call him today or tomorow and discuss some specifics. I'm thinking the one I'll get will come out to about $530-540.
