There is no advantage...its probably the same converter, just stalls a bit higher in a mach because they make more power than a gt. lol

I doubt it....

Please go get a camera, manually put your car in 2nd gear, record a video of your rpm gauge, and put your foot to the floor.

I guarantee you the rpms will flash up to closer to 2500 rpms....and if they dont, there is probably something wrong with your car lol.
