Default Dragon torque converter

I am considering purchasing a Dragon torque converter for my 97 SC 400. Has any one installed one of these in their 400? What is the result? How does it effect the daily drive ability of the car? Is it worth $750 bills? Does it change the way the car accelerates if you keep your foot out of it? Any inf. would be appreciated.

Later,
Scott M.

Scott, I had one installed on my SC4 early this year. It made a dramatic difference in off-the-line acceleration - no bog in 1st gear, now. I highly recommend it.

Either that or get your current one rebuilt to raise the stall.
