Good torque converter
What do you people think is a good torque conveter? I would like one that is a high stall or at least close to a hight stall? Is there any chip for that auto transmission that will make the car act like a high stall trans? Will the M45/FX45 tq convert work? What about the tq conveter of a VQ40 vehicle? Because those cars make pretty good tq power.

Gotta disagree with my fiend max here.
You can totally benefit from a high stall TC. By rasing stall you will impart the power made at the higher rpm (say, 3000 or whatever you customize your to) to the wheels, instead that of lower, stock 2200-2400 rpm stall.
Max benefiting from the TC in another dimension, my jumping into a higher rpm band sooner, Max is getting into boost far sooner, thus reducign the "lag".

So how much is a tc going to cost and will it cause any warrenty or transmission software problems? Not to mention do you get any tq increase? Is there a software upgrade I can get to do this instead of getting a tc? Thank you.

There were upgrades for the ECU as well, by the way.. so something to look into.
