Yeah thats the torque converter. But I think he was being sarcastic, because supposedly a manual is better.

ok Quickretardedracer .... i never said manuals are quicker. maybe the voices in your head thought that. take that chip off your shoulder and work on your car. i was joking about the size of the convertor. i run a yank 4000 stall in my TA. it works out pretty well for me. i hate stock convertors. they make a nice engine feel bloated.

also, i am not so sure about the eaton blower on a fbody but whatever floats your boat. lightning and cobra guys run them all day every day without issue (including me). they just are flat on the big end but provide great low end torque. be sure your tune is killer. all that torque at 3000 rpms is gonna be ugly in terms of cylinder pressure. also where are you going to get teh sheetmetal intake? too $$$ for me!
