4000 for sure. I have a 3600 on medium bolt ons and i could really go to a 4000. With your mods definitely do 4000.

Correct me if I am wrong, but I did not think the ls1 and lt1 a4 were interchangeable?

Well I'd like to know what the torque curve of this combo looks like. Bigger isn't always better, picking out the right converter is almost as hard as picking the proper cam. Do yourself a favor and call an expert.

Circle D 5C would be killer for your set up. Chris will custom build it for your LT1 set up. You won't be disappointed.
