Well from what I've read for my car a stock converter or a aftermarket one with a stall of 2500 is what I need. Someone also said to get an L36 torque converter and use that. I'm just wondering what are the advantages. From what I've read (which wasn't a whole lot) the L36 is smaller but does that mean it will slip more. Right now when driving my car and taking off and using less than half probably about 3/8 gas the rpms slip up to 3,000 RPMS and its getting tiring always having that happen.

Advantages: Weight, rotational mass.
Disadvantages: Smaller.
The aftermarket performance ones you buy are equivalent or better to the l67 258mm torque converter. I would not suggest you getting a stock l36 converter on a s/c application. Its really not heavy duty. Either way you would have to drill your flexplate or get a l36 one because the bolt pattern is smaller.
Btw, stall rate has nothing to do with the size of the converter. Its the point at which the power is transferred through the torque converter to the trans.
