Stall Converters?

Whats the deal with these things?

How do they work to increase performance?
Is it an easy bolt on mod?

No.

its hard to explain any better than how_stuff_works.com does.

its a $300 labor install, though not impossible to do yourself if you have the knowhow, tools and place to work. just a PITA.

It's easy enough to do, you could do it in about 5-6 hours with help. 7-10 hours if by yourself and you've done it before (Not fun! Find help.)

Umm...5-6 hours with help? Try two or three hours with help. The hardest part is getting the bellhousing lined back up.
