Default ANYONE RUNNING A TH400 Trans COME IN!!!

I am doing a g-body ls1 swap but i will be running my th400 trans that i already have conected to my 355 small block. i was wondering what converters are you guys using...i prefer a tight one since the car will have a huge cam but will be used as a daily driver. who makes good converters in the 3800 to 4000 stall range that are tight enough to daily drive? thanks guys...any help will be greatly appreciated!

Give edge racing verters a call. They have a really good rep for building tight verters that still run the number.

OUTRAGIOUS.
He does build a hell of a verter and his prices suggest that on many apps.
It really depends on what kind of verter you need and how much power your making.
We have spent well over 2500 on one of his verters before.
But the car ran almost 190 in the 1/4 with a glide.
Everyone builds a good converter for a 400, they have been around forever.
I will also suggest Lane at PTC.

I run a PTC (performance Torque Converter) in my TH350, it seems to do pretty well and is actually pretty good on the street. haven't gotten any times at the strip yet but i will definitely post up the times
