Need help on selecting stall torque converter

Excellent article Joe, and having worked in the industry, I couldn't agree with you more. Nice to see it mentions the lack of holding power on the brakes at times. Many forget that point.
I totally understand the writers concern about price. However, virtually every low priced converter I've seen cut open only proved the point " you only get what you pay for". Like you're saying and what others on the board have stated in the past, purchase only from a converter builder. While the parts stores/performance shops can sell you a converter, only someone in the industry has the hands on experience to get you what is required for your application. Just because the whiz-bang 10" converter works well in my Duster doesn't mean a thing unless your car is identical to mine in every way. Another point is any information must be as accurate as possible. B.S. the builder about how much horse power/torque your engine is making unless you've got a dyno sheet to back it up, and your PC dyno sheet is worthless, you're not going to get what is need for setup.
Thanks for the posting Joe.
