With after market high stall TC, you can easily peel out with stock 17's. With 20's, if you torque brake to 3k rpm, you can still peel out. The TC is around $850, most shops charge 5 hours of labor to install. Also remember to add a tranny cooler with TC installation.

I had PI TC on my car since 2000 and couldn't be happier with it.
