That is right, but with one box or tuner on it say a 125hp increase the valve body is more than enough. We have quite a few customers in the 450hp range that are running our v/b with the stock converter, with no problems. The stock converter isnt that bad from the factory. Furnace braized fins fairly efficient stator. The big problem with them is the mounting feet for the bolts. On the stamped steel front cover the mounting feet are only welded onto the cover. They can cause flex in the cover and eventually a crack can form. This is quite commonly diagnosed as a front pump seal leak. A billet front cover is also the fix for that.
Mike please understand I am not trying to undermine you here, just add some more information to what you have already said.
