Default Want New Converter: Your advise please!

I am looking for aconverter that would compliment my combo better. Wondering if you guys could offer up suggestions on a new converter for my car. Its mainly a weekend driver not really a track car but it sees the track 3-5 times a year. Anyways it throws down 430rwph/390rwtq locked. H/C
I have 4L60e and 3.73s.. Currently im runninga SY3500..w/1.61 str..very loose.

Any suggestions

I would suggest you try our 4000 stall , its a good tight converter and maintains very reasonable drivability for such a high stall

You guys should really give our converters more of a chance I think very much you would be very surprised as others have been

You need to offer a good special to get some people to purchase them and spred the good word. I tried to get your input on a TH400 converter and I had no answer back(that was about 2-3mts ago right after you released them).

Well we cant actually offer much more of a special these aren't cheap for us to build , We have sold quite a few though but as with all things people don't have much to say when things are great ,People by nature only talk when things don't go well and thus far that hasn't happened with our converters,
We are however as I have noticed in a most awkward position , If we price low as we are then we are lumped with the lower price economy converters and people are concerned , On the other hand if we price high then we are and unknown and people are unwilling to take a chance on them ,
Its proven to be quite a marketing challenge unlike our transmissions which havnt had this issue , I think one of the big problems is we came out about the same time as others were having issues and that made everyone a little shy.
But in time Im sure people will realize these are excellent converters , We are allready getting repeat customers which is a good sign.
On the matter of the 400 converter we werent selling any for a 400 normal and everyone wanted one that would bolt directly to and LS1 ,So since we didnt want to as they say blow up our converter department asking to much to fast we decided not to offer them for a while yet ,
We will be introducing billet covered and multi clutch units for the 4l60e, 4l80e in the next few days however.
