So im getting ready to do headers exhaust which is going to cause my boost to go down on my SC which is fine b/c I will still be getting the performance I need except for the low end torque so I plan on getting a upgraded torque converter for this I know I could use Level 10 and IPT to get my current torque converter rebuilt to the specs I need. My question is are there any other companies that offer this upgraded converter I just want to see what my price range is. Thanks

i'm not following what your saying here, are you trying to dump an high stall tq converter on to a stock trans or have you got an all new level ten trans and are trying to get the tq rebuilt to suit?
 
I need a high stall tq for my stock engine but I have found one from Level ten and one from ITP but I was wondering if there were other places that had them so I can compare prices
 
i would really consider upgrading your clutch packs and valve body if your going to chuck a high stall tq converter on there, i have only done this with the old 727 torque flite series of transmissions so i can't comment specifically on the toyota transmissions or not, but it seems if your preloading the clutch packs to a higher stall you might want to beef them up a bit, meaning that if you trying get that low end back through the trans it has to come from somewhere like the clutch packs, the torque converter doesn't add anything to the trans it just changes when the trans does it's thing and if you think about it all of that extra energy your trying to use has to be built up somewhere then released by the torque converter.

like i said i know next to nothing about the 4runner transmissions and have only heard rumors on the 2 companies you've listed so can't be of much help, maybe just ask if you should upgrade the clutch packs and valve body when you go to get the tq converter done, all of my experience is on old muscle cars and my old 5.9l jeep i used to have.
 
Yea I will look into the clutch pack never thought about them and my VB was upgraded already when I got the TRD SC but thanks for the advice I will def. check it out prolly end up calling IPT thanks
