Go with Circle-D.

I went with a "cheaper" converter and regretted it after the converter took a **** and took my trans with it, and that was with a basically stock car with exhaust.

I lost the $425 for the converter, $350 for the used trans, $150 for the trans fluid I had to replace 3 times, $150 for a trans tune after I rebuilt the converter the 1st time, and shipping back and forth for rebuilding the converter after the first time it went out.

It went out a second time, and that's when it took the trans with it.

All of that money wasted, I could have just bought a billet from Circle-D in the first place, and it would have been cheaper. Now I'm stuck with a junk converter in the garage, and a stock converter back in my car.

Yank, circle-d, fti all have very good reputations! Call them up and discuss your goals.

Moved to automatic section.

You want a tight converter for nitrous. CircleD has one - the 4C that would be good. Yank has the SS4000 or SS3600 and FTI has the 3800 Hard Hit. All would be good.

Well heres the thing idk if im going to be spraying all the time. So would it be better to just go with a regular converter or with the nitrous converter.

The 4C converter jakefusion suggested will take a 150 shot, but is primarily aimed at N/A performance. If you don't spray all the time, or in large quantities (200)+, it doesn't make sense to have a turd nitrous converter. I could have probably explained this better, but I think you'll get the idea.
