Torque converters: Quality ,for the buck.....

Years ago I put a cheap G.E.R 3000 converter in a Dart. It revved (felt like a bad slipping tranny) to high heavens just to pull a hill. It would smoke the tires to no end off the line and then just revved. I put a factory stock mopar converter in the car and dropped 4 tenths. Yes, the factory stock out performed the 3000 G.E.R. I later installed a 10 inch street fighter TCI. More money but the car dropped e.t's massively
