What budget torque converter?

So...spend money cuz you don't know who to trust?? is that it? I know how to check a converter without taking it apart. Am I the only one? And, my point is: most of the readers here have daily drivers, not track cars. Trying to get a dd person to spend money on a track converter isn't very helpful. $600 on a converter is way overkill for 98.6% of the folks on here. Get real.

i can make the following statement with zero vaccilation…..
A convertor is a terrible item to cheap out on, no matter the intended usage. High performance street, street/ strip, or strip.
Also, convertor technology has come a long ways. Tons of guys drive drag week street/ strip cars hundreds of miles with 8 inch 5000 flash+ converters….without issue.
Any car I was even remotely interested in getting to run good, I would skip right over the 3500 type converters.
They are forever going to leave substantial ET on the table.
