I don't have any others mods planned...except maybe drag radials in the spring. I'm going to try and maximize what I've done and see where im at.

Single best bang for the buck on ANY auto equipped car is a good stall converter hands down.

Thanks john...you help made my decision easier. Your alot better driver then me...but hey Ill give it a go. I will be happy just having a low 12 second street car. My buddy with a 5.0 was behind the wheel last night for a quick spin before bad weather came...he hit the rev limiter launching from a dig.....the car just takes off. Im very happy I went ahead with the new converter.

Cold tires, cold road...
Sometimes you have to modulate the throttle.

I figured out how to launch it better. Instead of just hammering it I was rolling into the throttle slower. Still spun like you said on a cold road. But Fri was full sun and warm so I did get a chance to have some fun.
