Default Stall converter?

Anyone know if there is a higher stall / torque converter for a 2000 tiburon?

I have a bigger throttle body, aem intake, 4-2-1 header, high flow cat, and an easy flow muffler. It runs nice but it's an automatic and acts like a slug off the line. Any cures for this? I think a higher stall converter will help. If not I may look into getting rid of the auto and see if my dads business (8 man mechanic shop with 7 bays) can put in a 5 speed.

Don't think anyone makes one, It'd probably have to be custom made. The 5 speed swap would certainly be more fun.

I found these guys when looking to do some thing with my elantra auto as they are essentially mitsu trannys anyways http://www.importperformancetrans.co...rts.-66-1.html



Being down under i got a local tranny mob to rebuild mine and put a shift kit and tweak the torque converter to a more stall

+1 for manual conversion. You're wasting power for the convenience of letting a computer shift for you.

No matter how much you mod the auto, eventually the end bearing will shatter and you'll be miserable.

5 speed swap
