Default PTC 3800 Converter For My Setup?

Hey everyone. I'm in need of buying a new torque converter soon and I can't make up my mind who I want to go with. I was originally thinking Revmax and then Yank but I really can't afford a $700+ billet converter right now. So my friend thats helping me build my Camaro highly recommended PTC. He had a PTC 3200 stall on his bolt on ls1 t/a while spraying a 200 shot that pushed it to a 6.99 in the 1/8th. So I've been thinking about a PTC 3800 for my LT1. Here's a list of everything we've done to my motor (a lot has changed since my signature). And I do plan on spraying a 100 shot in with this set up at the track. Also, I will be switching to a set of LE2 heads when I can afford them later this year.

355ci 11.5:1cr
Home ported heads
Lloyd Elliot 232 intake/240 exhaust duration .578/.574 lift 110 LSA cam
Scorpion race 1.6 roller rockers
Lunati dual valve spring kit
Single roller timing chain
Pacesetter longtubes and y pipe
CSR electric waterpump
3.73s
Weight reduction: AIR, EGR, A/C, ABS, sway bar, spare tire, back seats


So who has had some good experiences with PTC? I plan on daily driving this set up so I want it to be reliable.

Just call PTC. They will size it for you according to your specs.
