Torque Converter? Where am I at? What is compromised?

I guess a point that’s been lost in this thread is.......
Is the OP is pretty happy with how the car drives down the road as is?
The primary reason for a higher stall converter would be because you’re chasing ET.
Unless the current converter flat out sucks........ if it will flash to an honest 3k, and isn’t slipping horribly at the end of the 1/4...... then swapping it out for something that has 500+/- more flash stall isn’t going to be worth 3-4 tenths of ET in that combo.

“Most of the time”, chasing the converter set up goes hand in hand with chasing the ET.
