Default which torque converter for FI? Planning 650 whp

So my new setup will most likely be over 650 whp. I am looking at the Yank SC 3000 converter and the Pro Yank Extreme 3600. I know these are both heavy duty converters; does anyone recommend something one or the other, or something else?

Fuddle. Works great for a great price and John always seems to go above and beyond for me. Killer warranty too.

I can't reccommend from exoperience but only from others and research. I say go with the 3000, thats what most do for turbo's but will depend on the setup as a whole and maybe need a tad higher. I am going with a custom 3000 in my 4l80e just to let you know

I went with a vig 3000. When i spoke with them i mentioned it was for fi so they made the "stator" loose. They explained to me that it would be pretty loose to spool the turbo up to 3k then it would feel like a very tight coverter through out the power band. I like it so far.

Vigilante made my 9.5" unit for my TH400. It's made as tight as they can get a 9.5" converter according to them. Stalls 3000 rpms on the transbrake n/a, seems to work pretty good.
