Default 4l80e converter recommendation

Hey guys I've been looking for a converter for my set-up. I've been searching the forums and different brand websites but I'm coming up short. I'll be the first to admit that transmissions isn't my thing and I'm reaching out for some much needed help. Anyway here's the details

91 camaro z28 with a forged 370 s480 turbo, racetronix 680 lph double pump system with 120# Holley injectors, Holley HP ecu( for now till I can find a deal on a dominator ecu) and water/meth system, quick performance 9" with 3.25 gears and all the suspension mods. 3200 lbs with a full tank and me in it

I'm building the car from the ground up as fast as I can by damn near working myself into an early grave! Lol I've got pretty much everything in boxes and crates sitting in the garage just waiting to be put together I'm just now getting to the transmission part. From what I've been researching sounds like I'm looking for a triple disc converter but maybe some other guys could chime in. Thanks for your time guys

I went triple disc on my turbo build after discussing my goals over with Chris at Circle D. I do not have track times yet but in my driving around so far he seemed to have nailed what I was expecting from this combo. My turbo build starts about here if you're interested:

I also did another with a similar Circle D converter, but we have even less driving time on it as of now, but I'm anticipating another home run on their part. Build thread here if you're interested:

If your looking for brand recommendations I'll throw Yank out there. Thier stalls seem pretty much dead on for what they say it is.

I've heard good things about Circle D and Vigilante as well.

Best bet is give one of them a call and tell them what your looking for that will best fit your application.

I am pretty sure our wagon is getting an FTI triple disc.
