I had the stock converter reworked to bring the stall from 2200 to 2900. Here are some pics of the inside after the fins have been modified.

I am getting a new one (higher stall yet) so the shop had to cut the old one in half. The place is called Performance Torque Converters.(PTC) In Tigerton Wi. Charlie is a great guy who owns the business, mainly does stock converters for dealerships, but can do just about anything to a converter. To rework the stock only cost 100 bucks!! My new one will cost a little more (Like 650-700)
I could not see paying the ridiculously high prices for a torque converter from some of the online stores. I have seen prices from 2300 to 3200 dollars!!!
With the stock converter I ran a 13.7 in the 1/4. With the reworked converter it dropped to 13.3 The car drives almost like it did before the stall was raised.
Basically they cut in apart and then changed the angle of the inside fins and changed the angle of the bend on the outside fins. If you look closely the original slot for the inside fins are still there.
