??? for my mechs
ok i am in the marine corps and stationed in califorina, and being in the corps i found all walks of life here from computer geeks to hard core mechs, with that being said. speaking to a mech after him over hereing me talk about all the upgrades i want to do to the G 5AT he told me that they would be a waste of money (mrev CAI headers exhuast) he said if i really want to see a change that i would need a performance torqe converter to relly optimize the
(mrev CAI headers exhuast) so is this true and if so where in the hell can i get one.

no way...those performance parts are a good start without going FI (force induction). The G's tranny can definitely handle those parts no problem. You don't need a performance torque convertor unless you want to get turbo or supercharger later...

hahaha...does everything your mech fix brake down 2 weeks later....??
If you do those mods to the car you will def feel the difference and if you run it at the track before and after you will see the difference in time slips as well. I have a spacer, exhaust, and CAI and i knocked more than a half second off my time slips....

I think what he was trying to say was that you will feel a difference with the mentioned bolt ons, it would be better with a higher stall torque converter.
I don't know what year your car is but I'm going to say it's a 2005. This car was rated at 270 ft/lb @ 4800 rpm. Remember, torque is what moves the car. The quicker you get it to the torque peak the faster it will go.
Try this, in drive, power brake the car until 1) the engine won't rev anymore or 2) the wheels just start to break loose. Note the rpm. I may be lying here but my guess is that it will be somewhere around 2500-2800 rpm. Do some research and be realistic on your goals but I bet a 3200-3500 stall would be bad *** in that car. Put in a shift kit and you will be blowing away 6 speeds like Katrina and refugees.
I can also guarantee you that a torque converter is going to be high dollar. I haven't looked but my guess would be $1500-1800. The one for my Grand National cost me $850 and that's for a friggin Buick. But I tell you going from 2400 stall to 3000 stall was night and day.
Good luck, Semper Fi, and stay away from Iraq....
