    "I think playing this one conservatively might be in my benifit."

    Personally, I wouldn't trade 14 ft/lbs @ 2000 for 12 hp @ 5000. The motor will be seeing 2000 way more often than it will 5000.

    Proof of the pudding is in the taste. I'd wait and drive the car some before changing the converter.
