HOLY ***** - Torque Converter Installed
Title says it all. Man what a difference. This is the single best mod I have done to any car ever! Feels like a jet off the line. Under full throttle from a standstill I can just spin the tires and I have 19x10 SSR GT3 wrapped in 275-40-19 Bridgestone Potenza SO3 Pole Position Tires. They break loose no problem. Low speed turns are FUN!
I have heard peoples concerns about the 2800 RPM stall and what will freeway crusing be like . . . It is exactly like stock. I was cruising up Highway 17 (Nor Cal Guys know what that is) and my car was just happy as a clam at about 1500 RPM. I really like the 2800 RPM stall. VERY well suited to the GS400. Now I just need to get my hands on a Supra TT LS Differential.
I am sorry but I do not have any official numbers, but I believe that Drew GS4 will post his once he gets his back from PI. But, from a strictly "seat of the pants" measurement - AWESOME!!!
Thanks JPI for the group buy opportunity, it was the nudge that made me do it! Any questions, feel free to post, but again, I don't have any official numbers.

Congrats! Changed your title to make it more appropriate and to follow CL rules 
As I've said many times before, best bang for the buck performance mod. Got my new one in as well, thanks JPI. Definitely helped solve my rev limiter problem with the old one.

Please install the LSD ASAP. I really enjoy my TC installation. But 8k miles later, I needed new rear tires badly
After the LSD installed, now the rear tires last for around 15 k miles

Damn you guys...
j/k 
Now I have to find the 4-500 $$ and a free day to get MINE installed ASAP. I look at it sitting in the box in the garage and read these posts...
Can't wait to see how the TC works together with my 3.76 LSD diff.
