Default yet another converter question

I have a 01 SS. Looking at getting a stall. It'll be mainly on the street but not a daily driver. I'm keeping stock cam and maybe stock 3.23s(might go 3.73s later) but i'm getting heads and full bolts on with 315-35-17 555Rs. About what size and STR would best fit my application? Also, where would be the best place to purchase one? Thanks so much for any advice/help.

The SEARCH FEATURE can be of great interest, use it
After much research and reading, and searching I chose FUDDLE

I called Yank and told them my mods. They suggested the SS4000, basically what I am saying is... I suggest calling some of the manufacturers for advice.

Just my opinion, but I would get a cam before heads anyday...what you get for the $ is not very good if you just get new heads.

With that said, with the stock cam I would say SS3600, moderate cam SS3800, and big cam SS4000...
