converter shopping questions

When shopping for a new converter here are some questions id like answered.

for daily driving, with some minor mods, will single disc be sufficient. naturally some hot rodding and burnouts will be done?

how do aftermarket converters do with a lock up switch?

what lockup speed should i be looking for?

once a converter is in, whats the next weak link?



thanks

I would get a nice valvebody along with your single disk, that should give you a good setup. But just be careful about the burnouts and boosted launches without billet shafts.
