The proper way is "Without a high stall torque converter." |
Just putting this out there: in 1988 your car made 225 hp @ the crank. Its now 20 years old, so depending on the condition of the inside of your engine (based on maintenance, etc) who knows what that number really is now. Based on your mod levels and other similar vehicles, your car could run anywhere from a high 13 to a low 15, weighing heavily on how well you can drive. We can speculate and bench race all day long, the only real way to know is by actually running the car.
Also, a higher stall converter may help marginally (at this stage), but seeing as how a near stock TPI (such as your own) car's powerband starts at around 1500-2000 RPM, and the stock converter can flash to 12-1800ish...the money spent there wouldn't be as beneficial as say, more mods to help the car breathe better, or even suspension.
Good luck.
