Default Torque Converter Question???

If you couldn't tell by by user name, I have a 2001 Z28. I'm thinking about installing a tc but i have some questions. My camaro is an everyday driver so is this going to ruin my gas mileage or hurt my engine in the long run? Also would i need any other mods such as different gears etc. I'm on a budget since im in college but want some more speed. Also if you guys could provide some decent brands and sizes that would be good too. Thanks.

It won't kill your milage, but it will drop a little bit around town, highway driving will stay the same (due to lock-up). Go for a at least a 3000 rpm or don't bother. Look at Yank or Fuddle, stay away from TCI, B&M. Converters are exspensive to get a good one, if you cheap out you will not get the performance out it.
