What is your planned usage for the vehicle? street car, race car, somewhere in between?
Do you have a transbrake?
What is the weight of the vehicle?
What is the rear tire size?
What RPM are you shifting at?

I would recommend the FTI ESR3082 (450hp) for your current power and setup. This is a 3000rpm stall converter with a positive fin angle that will offer great efficiency and drive-ability since this is a daily driver.
If you plan to upgrade in the future and are planning ahead the SR3082 (750hp) is the billet version and is one of our most popular series of converters.

You can find both of these options at this link here. https://ftiperformance.com/torque-co...m/th350-th400/

Feel free to PM or email me if you have any questions.
