Default Pro-Torque 9.5" 3200 Lock Up converter?

Hi Jack,
I have an opportunity to purchase what is described as a "Pro Torque 9.5" 3200 Lock Up converter - FROM COTTON'S" for a very reasonable price. Claimed 2000 miles, and removed because it wasn't enough for his goals (lo 10's).
Question #1: Is there such an animal, and did/have you sold such?
Question #2: How much would this benefit my very stock-ish configuration '86 TR?

My mods are simple... hotwired ATR Superpump (walbro), adj. FPR and wastegate, K&N, RJC PP, 3" THDP, testpipe, 2.5" Hooker catback, Thrasher 93 chip.... stock turbo, I/C, injectors, heads, bottom end, etc... fresh bone stock BRF trans (from a crate - NOS) w/ stock converter, tuned/monitored with DirectScan. I plan to purchase 60's and TT chip soon. I will probably stick with my stock turbo for the near-term future, and even if/when I do upgrade the turbo, probably will never get bigger than say... 6152 BB + alky, or modern equivalent...

Car is 100% street driven/cruiser, not really concerned about 60 ft. times, but want a stout 20-30 mph roll hit I'm wondering if a convertor like this may be a bigger benefit for a configuration like mine than anything.... but, I want it to still cruise around real stock-like also.... I sometimes drive 75-100 miles/nite. Appreciate your opinion, and just don't want TOO much convertor to make it less comfortable on the streets/highways... thoughts????
Thanks!!
