Very interesting...does the CA torque converter trade a loss in high-end performance for the low-end gains? Also, any idea if the CA torque converter could be put on a federal tranny?

If I ever lose my torque converter, it seems that it would be nice to replace it with a CA version...

Just some brainstorming
