 Hey Lu, The torque converter selection is a very complicated 
process. What works for some engine/tranny/chasis combinations that 
seem similar to your car may be totally different from your needs. 
There is a great article from TCI Racing that explains all the 
variables involved, rpm and engine torque, weight,resistance to 
movement of drive train etc. There Web site is tciauto.com/tech-
info/torqueconverters-explained.htm This article is may give you 
some insight as to what direction to go in making the right selection.
