well i just got a big hunk of cash from insurance and after putting my new system in, i have about $2k left over...i don't want to spend it all (like i do with all of my other money), but i'd like to spend some on my car and start saving for my m3 (thats what i'm planning on getting about 5 years from now...that opinion can change though since lots of new cars are coming out)

i'm going to get a cattman y pipe and stillen rsb for sure and a cattman fstb...that all together (after the y pipe install price) comes to about $800... i have about $1200 left but i don't want to spend all of it...i might save that 1200 or i might get a level 10 torque converter upgrade...what does everyone think? i heard its about $700...is it worth it? i also read somewhere that there are 2 other companies that make them and one only charges $400 or so w/ trade in...is a new torque converter worth it? should i save up until i can get a whole new level 10 tranny? what to do what to do...y pipe for sure along w/ a rsb and fstb but i still have money left over...not sure if i should save it or get stuff...lemme know...don't say rims though because i'm keeping the stock ones on for awhile

Dropping your tranny to put in the TC isn't cheap... expect to spend most/all of the $1200. IMO, it's worth it if you have the $$$.

Since you know of protorque and their offerings, what is the price of the part?
