    Ever since I swapped my AOD out for a C4 pan fill big bell, the car just hasn't felt right. but the torque converter that came with it as song was stock. looking to to buy a better TC. don't really know what stall.torque I want tho. mostly street, but some strip. 9inch locked 3.89, 5.0 ho efi. I want over 2500 stall. what would you recommend? also cause of the big bell I'm limited to TC out there being I need a 11.4 bolt pattern. any input won't go unnoticed I'd like to keep it under $300

    For the money spent to get a new TC it would probably be better to just have yours redone at a shop that rebuilds TCs, they have a better guess at what you will need once you tell them the specs of your engine,weight of car,rear gear ratio,cam and such. It is always a crap shoot when you buy one off of the shelf.

    I just checked out google and there are several close to you
