Looking at getting a high stall torque converter.
But i don't know where to start. So i need some help in where to look. And how much will it help me??
After that i would like to get Don's VB upgrade but not for a little while.

Here-->

this site will answer all your questions--->

http://www.protorque.com/

w/ a high stall TC you should see anywhere up to a .5 sec gains(according to Protorque) and with Don's or Level 10's VB you should see similar gains, as far as I'm concerned these are the two most effective mods for the auto Maxima besides forced induction. I think you could see as much or as close to a second off ETs with a good set of tires...

you have to contact them...

its not shown on the site, but its still only $400. most likely it'll be 2300rpm stall speed(thats what they suggetsed for me), at 2300 it wil be 500rpms over stock(1800).

IMO before you just pop mods onto the car best thing to do is learn how they work! here is a little info that helped me out-->

You can get up to .5 et gain from practice, practice, pratice. Launching and shifting style and it cost $0.00 Someone from the 4th gen forum installed a stall converter and he wasn't so pleased. A stall converter good for forced (turbo) application to buy boost cut lag time while at the lights.

Just floor it....

from what I've seen as well as some others 1-2-D doesn't show any REAL differences! if you wnat quicker shifts get a Valve Body upgrade!
