I'm running a Yank myself. I know a lot of guys are running Yanks, ATI's, TCI's, and Coan's. I'm sure there's other good companies out there too, the only diff for an ls1 is that the nose (think it's called the pilot) is 1/2 inch longer if i'm not mistaken.

Pro Torque & Neal Chance mostly...but, I've been using some PTC's and so far they are showing to be a good efficient converter and the price makes them an attractive value.
