Does anyone know where to get the 12" precision industries torque converter for my 97 3.8? I looked for it but i cant find the 12" one mentioned in the modifications encyclopedia...Is that the one i should get? Is it worth the while

Yes, you could contact precision industries and ask for a 12" precision industries torque converter.

Why do you want this converter?

I prefer Yank

Re: torque converters

Good point...I am looking for a little bit better acceleration. I have ram air and a flowmaster catback. Headers and cat should go on this summer but after that i am thinking a torque converter would be the next step. My drivetrain is bone stock and i am trying to decide on gears. I also have to drive my bird about 30 freeway miles everyday for school and work. So i am hoping this converter would work well with my application.

do gear before verter

you have to match hthe veter to the gears

I'd do some more research in here before moving into the realms of converters..... it is a BIG mod in my opinion.
