I'll call the machine shop and talk to them about those valves right now. I plan on buying a new stall converter too before too long, I believe that's what you're referring to, correct?

It is called a torque converter. Stall has to do with the RPM the converter will allow the engine to rev too before it stalls. IE Usually for street use you use a lower rpm stall for normal driving. But in drag racing you want to be able to power brake the car and get the engine into it's power range to get a better launch. Just get in your car and put on the brake and in drive press down on the gas. If you have a tach you will see what stall your cars converter is at. At some point no matter how much throttle you give the engine the rpm will not go any higher. That is stall. Most cars stall around 2000 RPM or less.
