What stall speed are you looking at? Can't go wrong with a PI multi-disk IMO, pricey, but worth it.
Looking for a stall of 3500-4000 rpms. I really appricate the suggestion so far.

What's your price range?

I'd go with CircleD myself. They will make the converter specifically for your setup and Chris is very helpful and nice on the phone\.

$1000 at most. Hell I have the two PTC's that total a $1000 and have not had a minute of trouble. Just do not like the shift speed drop to 5500 rpms, would like to see 6,000 rpm on the shift speed drop?

Hell yeah, circleD's top of the line converter is right at $1000. They can custom make it to your specs and supposedly they've yet to have one break at wot while locked up. In fact I think they challenge you to break it. I searched and could not find a single bad thing said about circle D as a company. I'm pretty sure they will even restall the converter for you down the road at no cost if you so wish. Granted, I went with their cheapest converter, but I'm very pleased with the service I received.

I'm also very pleased with mine! Super fast shipping also.

Theyre alot more popular over on the ls1tech side (hopefully they grow on here too).
