I've had the opportunity to test quite a few torque converters behind our HKE iron block 408. It put down 538/500 on a dynojet dyno. I would recommend a Circle D billet front triple disc 4C for your application. It's a very streetable TC that feels pretty tight under normal power loads, but rises to the occassion under WOT. It'll welcome a moderate shot of gas as well (125-200 shot).

If you opt to stay NA the 5C is a solid heavy hitting converter. That's what I was running when the pic in my avatar was taken.

Good luck!
