All the stock Ford torque converters are junk. Invest wisely once in a built converter, then the 2.73s will launch better than the 3.55s with Ford converter ever did. I speak from experience, I did this to my old '95 Z28 convertible. Ended up with a B&M 2400 that let me leave twin black stripes at will, even with 2.73:1 gears and suitably wide tires for cornering, but because these converters lock up 1:1, no impact to highway mileage.
