Honestly, I thought that too, but this is what was recommended by the cam grinder, even giving all of the information on the combo. They also recommended an even larger grind, but I chose the smaller of the 2.

That said, something like this, would you say would like more or less converter? I am back and forth between this converter I mentioned in my original post, or a factory high stall 340 converter. Other then what I have already noted, the car MAY get a set of 3.55 gears in the future, but I know it will hurt the driveability on the highway, so that is slightly up in the air.
