Choosing a Torque converter

[NW-ZJ-SCOTT]

Alright, this is not exactly XJ specific but It might be useful for XJ owners aswell..I have Come to the conclusion that the Torque-converter is going bad in my ZJ, I am a D.I.Y.'er And plan to purchase everything i need tomorrow after i get the jeep back from the Trans shop (full diagnosis)

Torque converters, I have found everything from Factory OEM replacements, to Refurbished units.. To Upgraded Higher performance Converters.

I found one on Ebay for $199+s&h, Here are the "Specs"

Level 2 High Stall Performance Torque Converter

Original Core Return Required

Perfect Upgrade for Daily Driver Stock or Slightly Modified Vehicles

-Brake Stall Speed Increased 400-800 RPM Over Stock

Would this be good for a Daily driver, that see's alot of street abuse (1/8 mile runs) that also see's alot of Slow trail usage..

Or should i stick to a Stock type replacement? what is all this "Stall speed" talk about?
