I should add, this Vette is a auto. It has some special torque converter, can't remember who's. It's supposed to allow for the additional HP.

Won't necessarily gain any horsepower, but it helps the trans hold the additional horsepower on hard launches without puking its guts everywhere. It'll also allow you to launch at higher RPMs (stall speed, foot full down on brakes then push the throttle and pop the brake like a clutch) for better 60 foot times at the strip.

pretty standard modification in those automatic vettes when you start adding power. The trans itself is fairly solid but the TC is always a weak link.
