What budget torque converter?

Who said a high stall converter has to slip? It's just the idea that every car is different is bogus. The idea that you have to consult a converter specialist about your car and wait for weeks for a converter that costs nearly a grand is just silly. Besides the fact that two identical cars might have drivers that prefer something different. Summit and Jegs sells converters off the shelf all day long..but I guess they aren't good enough for somebody that needs to be treated "special".

not silly at all, actually sensible.
Go to any track, go down the row, car after car, virtually nobody would agree with your above statement, including me
