Can anyone explain exactly and clearly what a torque converter is?

The benefits of one? (faster 0to60 times) And the bad points of having one? (burning rubber all the time)

And what does a stall converter mean?

I am thinking about the one available at SRT, the Dragon TC made by Precision Industries...

Look for it..

I can't find the link right now, but there is a really nice thread about TC's in the archives. Do a careful search and you will have all of your answers.
