got told NOT to get a converter.......

), and a mopar guy i work with said not to get a stall converter, because it sucks on the street...and so do headers....he's had a few a-bodies with big blocks and said he hated having headers or converters in them.....

my thinking is that it's not a daily driver, and a 3000-3500 converter won't be bad....also...the car is loud anyway, and i can't imagine headers will be that noticeable...he says I have good manifolds. he also says that you can't get to spark plugs with headers....i'm thinking it's been awhile since he's had them and new headers have come out that solve these issues, like tti and schumacher....

oh, and he says the take-off on the street with a stall converter is way too wild.....

Well, i don't know what you do there in States, but this is my own experience of chancing headers and converter...

First we have a regular headers in a '74 Valiant with the 383, it ran like 15.8, then we have 383 magnum headers, it ran 15.4, no, the weather wasn't similar than the first run and the track was diffrent, but the result is in the time card...

Then we tried out diffrent stuff, and finally , after 6 years, we get our first 2.01 60 feet, and the best et, converter was change to god only knows, how high, but five people remember that converter was a approx. 3500-3800 and manufacturer was unknown...

So, don't leasning your friend, he or she does haven't a glue what he or she is talking about...

Now we have tci 2500-2800 rpm converter, but it is too slow...
This summer we try something else so if you know a good converter maker , tell it to me also...
