Mods are in sig along with the addition of a transgo shift kit (1-2 accumulator, boost valve, vette servo, etc.) Think 13's are possible in the 1/4 ?

Try Jegs. LPE sells one that is about 500 rpm above stock stall.
Install is basically an R&R of the tranny. You have to unbolt it from the flexplate and take out the starter, then you have to remove the crossmember and the torque arm and there it is. The cooler lines are bendable so it should not be too difficult to remove them. Tranny out, take out the old TC and insert the new one and reassemble. Talk to a tranny shop

I got mine from SLP, 800 over factory stall and Ive had it for atleast 15k miles and lots of trips to the track and no problems. Its my daily driver 50 mins each way to work and my 60fts went from 1.9x to high 1.7s on tire so yeah converter and drag radials will definitely help just make sure you add a cooler for the tranny while youre there.

Robert, mrr23, introduced some of the locals to a vette converter made by dacco/detroit that stalls to about 2100. cost is 75 bucks and some members have had this converter on the car for almost a year of daily driving and abuse now. he also mentions he used it on his previous car and sprayed it into the 12s on that converter.
get a hold of him if you need info on picking one up.

I think you should use a higher stall converter. B&M makes a 2400 and I have one in my car. I would like to get a 3000 stall but money is tight. I got a N20 kit the other day. After I save a little money I will get the 3000 and sale the 2400. If you want to keep a eye on the board I will sale mine in a few months. I will be looking for 3 hundred for it plus shipping.
I also have a 3000 non lock up converter that is new but I would not use it on a street car.
I just called a guy about doing a lock up switch for the 3000 stall. If he can then I may sell it sooner.

yep....even with what i'm doing i'm staying with the same size as when i had stock power...
my L98 hit mid to high 13's with just CAI and a nice exhaust.
the 350's need to breath. keep an eye out for a good intake that's cheap and you'll get there easily.
seriously though it would help to know what your running as you are now to tell.

I have another Dacco 2500 from my IROC sitting on the shelf that I just took out...
BTT- The car in question should pull 13's as is. If not a converter and tires will make sure it does....
