Default Boost with a th350, converter choice?

So I have a 5.3ls, 799 heads, Air Inductions .595/.604 lift with 211/230 duration @50 with a 117 lobe separation, 3500lb 64 Bel Air, th350, 3.73 gears and 27" tall tire. I will be building a single 76mm turbocharger setup too. This car will be street/strip. Need some advice on which converter to buy. Im looking at Circle D and North Texas Converters. Thanks

Thanks for considering Circle D! I would build our 258mm converter in about a 3500 stall. I think this would be sufficient to spool your turbo, and still drive around well on the street. We use a billet front made in house just for the LS flex plate and th350, so the setup will be very strong, and fitment would be second to none.

Ok, I have had circle d converters before and they are fantastic. My other choice which is cheaper is North Texas Converters. Any personal opinions welcome
