Yeah I know, I was hoping that the less of a headache would be under $500 after shipping though.... Oh well Nothing I can really do about it. After talking to the guy on the phone from APS, they do alot more than just adjust the stall speed when it comes down to their converters. They go through and modify the converters inerds to give you the best lowend possible to get you out of the hole as fast as they can and will usually shave 3 tenths of a second off the 60 foot times if not more. Its track ready and yet very streetable and comes with a 2yr racing warranty.
