Ihave around $800-1000...i want my car to get off the line fast
i was thinking...
-aluminum driveshaft and safety loop
-rear upper/lower control arms
-shocks/struts
-drag launch or 4cyl springs
-torque boxes
-valve body or shift kit

You're not going to get that car out of the hole quick with the stock torque converter. Call up these guys and place your order! http://www.edgeracingconverters.com/ . RSW007 and I are running their custom built 3000 rpm Street Edge torque converter and we both love them. Mine was about $520 built and shipped to my door. I'd spend the rest of the money on either control arms or drag launch springs and torque boxes.

not trying to sound stupid, but what exactly does a torque converter do? lol

It's kind of hard to explain.It allows yourmotor to get into the power band quicker.It's almost like feathering a clutch in a manual, but with the stock one you don't really notice the performanceeffects.Themain purpose of them is to keep your car from stalling when you come to a stop. You will notice enormous performancegains with a good custom built torque converter with a (higher stalling) proper stall rating.

Here's some good converter basics!
