You'll spend 550-750 for a good converter, IMO, they are worth every penny. Guys will spend 7500-15000 on an engine then buy a $300 converter. The converter is probably the single most important piece in a cars driveline.

I'll add be totally honest with the guy you talk to. Too lose will only lose a small amount of ET, and honestly with a street tire 1st gear will be pretty useless anyway. I like a tighter convertor. With that package I like the idea of a tight 2500. Most of my street stuff I recommend 2200-2500 for the 3.23 and 3.55 gears with a 4" arm. It likes to pull...
