Definitely go with one of the sponsors on here. I think there are 4 of us that build torque converters. I would of course suggest a Circle D converter. Do some research. It is a very tough decision and everyone has their favorite brand, you will get a lot of opinions. We will custom build a converter for your car.
What is it you are looking for in a converter? What are your mods? What is more important, street manors or performance? Any big future plans?

I picked a Circle D because I like the amount of surface area on the lock up clutch, that was important to me. I don't think there's a bad manufacturer in the bunch but they do have different ways of accomplishing the same goals.

I can only speak for Yank, but I've had three and all were topnotch. They have a three year warranty and multiple options to fit any need. You'll spend some cash on one, but you get what you pay for. A converter is one area you don't want to skimp on. Give them a call and see if they have something that catches your eye. You won't be disappointed!

Dont get caught in a Circle Yankin it!!
FTI is by far the best built converter you can find. Their conv's work great for everyday driving and at a dragstrip is where they really shine. I have a 9sec blown 382 LS6, a LS3 427(10.3sec daily driver) and my 2005 GTO with FTI conv and have had great results and Greg sets them up perfect for your combo right out of the box. I have at least 20 friends with LS1, LS2, LS3 Fbodys and Vettes around Central Florida and everyone now uses FTI converters and i've never seen a problem. I have had Yank and Vigilanti conv break from lots of dragracing but never a problem with FTI. I bracket race the LS3 427 every week 7- 10 runs a week + test n tune every Wed, the GTO is raced by a pretty teammate and is #4 in points with over 100 runs this year with FTI!!!
