Welcome, as stated Yank and Vigilante are great. I'm upgrading to a Yank 4000 soon. I had a PTC 3600 that worked flawlessly for 70k + miles but want to give Yank a try. Really depends on what kind of performance you want from your car but somewhere in the 3200-4000 range is most common and makes a hell of a diffrence in et at the track.
I've heard of a few flexplates cracking but myself personally have never had an issue with the flexplate. Also, get a good aftermarket trans cooler.

Correct me if I'm wrong but for a nitrous car wouldn't you want a tight converter and short (numerically higher) rear gear? Maybe thats if your spraying hard off the line... I've always wondered about this since I get so many various opinions on what works well. One of our ex-technicians used to do nothing but race F bodys and said loose converters make a stock car faster but in the end once your making good power all they do is create heat and shred the trans.
