I am looking to buy a torque converter, and i was loooking at some options on ebay:

and i was wondering how much faster a 2800 stall speed would make my car, i have a 2001 3.8 A4 Camaro with 3.42 gear ratio. What other pieces would i need in order to install this, besides a shift kit and transmission cooler, which i am told help. Thanks for any info.

 

Rule of thumb given traction and efficient converters/high STRs, etc...

Expect anywhere from 0.3 to 0.6 better in the quarter mile depending on traction, STR, stall, weather, etc...

I've seen 2800 #7 pump Vigilantes and 2800/2.7STR Yanks hit mid-14s with Nittos and little other mods (catback, CAI).

Results, as usual, will vary.

(Make SURE to get a good tranny cooler...)

So a 2800 would be good for my car? i have SLP CAI, whisper lid, K&N and a B&B cat back exhaust. How did that Torque converter look from the website i posted?

 

What would be a good tranny cooler? Thanks
