55 Chevy 4.8 turbo convertor recommendations I have a 55 Belair that I am running a 4.8l with a gt45 running about 11 pounds of boost and all last summer ran a 4l60e trans and managed to not kill it and just finishing up a 4l80e rebuild that I am doing with Jakes kit. I am driving and cruising it not making a all out strip car car and want to get convertor ordered today or tomorrow coming. I am thinking the FTI convertor I just want some more input from you guys if you suggest something else please tell me why that one and not this one would like to learn. http://ftiperformance.com/product/gm...00-3000-stall/

Why not just call the converter sponsors - FTI, CircleD and Yank. They all make excellent converters and give good personal service and honest advice over the phone.
There is no "best" converter, it depends not only on your setup, but your personal preferences.
Your engine's torque curve, max RPM and rear end ratio will all affect the converter choice.
