Torque converter stall

Call FTI in Deland, FL. They are up the road from me. I had a custom billet 4200 9 inch convertor made by them. It is very tight at part throttle and feels like a 2500 until I romp it, then hold on! Best $1100 I ever spent. Remember, ALL of your power passes through the converter. This makes it THE most important part of your drivetrain. Do not skimp here!
I’m only 17 so I’m having to build this car from money I’m making selling firewood. So 1100 on a converter is out of the question for me.
