Torque Converter upgrade

Where in the heck can i upgrade my 5sfe torque converter before i push 50 shots of nitrous into the engine, this was recommended to me to upgrade the converter but i can not find one that i could get, or would the stock converter hold up?! thanks for the help, noob here! and what do you think install would run or could i do it myself?

You probably don't need it, but it's not a bad deal if you send them your T.C. to get the core charge back.

Converters are pretty strong from the factory... Converters rarely gets destroyed because of too much power, but rather they blow up if you launch the car on slicks with big power.

I would worry about the actual transmission instead... usually the clutchpacks will be burnt, or your fluid overheats before you blow up the converter.

They modify your existing stock converter...
