Question Turbo torque converter decision HELP!

Hello guys last year i decided to jump in the turbo wagon and make my 99Z turbo.This is my first turbo build so im learning in the process i have no experience with turbo LS. At the beginning my thinking was a Lq9 with s480 ,th400, 3.55 gears.
Now it is a completely referent combo forged 408 ,317 castings with SS 2.08/1.55 valves fully ported , s480 but in the future thinking to go with s488, Edelbrock XT Pro Flow intake, TH400, thinking to go like 3.27 gears. Marting @ Thickperf going to spect a cam. Now my dead end is how stall to spect my converter?
The car going to be more of a Drag Racing car and a weekend toy.

What converter you think can take maximum potential out of my combo?
Thanks

I'm running a Yank PY3400 and a Jakes 4l80e with no complaints.
