I know a guy who was building a Chevelle and decided to stop the project. He has a 2000rpm Hughes performance torque converter. He is willing to sell it to me for 100 bucks, new in box. Is this worth it considering my setup? I know next to nothing about torque converters, not sure what magic they make happen other than spooling the power to the transmission. Just not sure of the benefits. Should I be looking at my diff instead of worrying about a converter?
Here is what I have:
