Default torque converters

i want to get a torque converter for my 2002 Z28, but would like to see how a car with a converter drives.....

if anyone would be nice enough to take me for a ride, i would pay for gas and buy them lunch or something.....

i just want to get an idea how the car behaves with a converter

i just got my tonsils yanked though so it would be probably a week and a half or so before i could go, but i figure it would give people enough time to view this post and plan on it or something

i live in st.pete close to seminole, but i would be happy to meet someone who lived a lil further away.........

anyone who would want to help out, that would be great

Anything less that 3500 is a waste.
