Aftermarket torque converter...
Was toying with the idea of replacing the torque conv while the engine is out.
Was thinking of something like 2200-2400.
Any suggestions? tips? Recommendations?
Do I need a tranny cooler? Etc. Or should I Just keep running the stock one?
Thanks for any help..

In a high performance application the torque converter is one on the most important selections you can make. It will truley make or break a combination. You should always run an extra cooler on the street with a stall converter. Its cheap insurance to help keep the temps down.
I know a lot of people are not going to agree with me but the generic converters most people use are inefficient junk. I learned myself the difference with a car. $179.00 cheapie converter and switched to a good ATI converter that cost me just under $450.00 (9 years ago) The car picked up 4 tenths at the track and was much more street friendly around town. Both were 2500-2800 11" converters.
The best thing to do is call one of the good converter companies and give them all the info about your car (you will need the duration @.050 numbers for that cam) and let them tell you what you need. I have had great luck with ATI but there are many others that make good converters.

I got a cheap one and it was a 10 in. advertised 2600-2800 and its closer to 3000 rpm it works good but if money allows I'm putting in a nice one or having mine redone locally. I ran a jegs 2300-2500 and it was the same as my tci 2000-2200 stall. The tci I used was the saturday night special it was good and the price didn't break the bank.

I had Jim Burek at PAE rebuild my S/P converter a few years ago but heard he is no longer in business. Here's his number at the time 915 855-6009. I think Phoenix Transmission might still do some S/P stuff http://www.phoenixtrans.com/IntlHome.html and possibly even Dacco http://www.daccoinc.com/. Here is PATC url also http://www.transmissioncenter.net/
All it takes is a phone call to find out.
