SS4000 would probably do very nicely

While it is true that Fuddle has experienced some stumbling moments with customer service, it has been nearly a year since we had serious problems. Since, we have completely reworked to company structure in regards to customer service and have added personnel to stay ready for any problems that might arise.
You have narrowed the competition down to three companies that build great converters. No one builds converters of that kind of quality. However, in regards to ballooning plates, don’t give that much thought. Aside from B&M, I don’t know of any companies that skimp on that part of the converter. The plates aren’t expensive for the company and it would be silly to leave them out.
With your setup, you do have 2 main things to consider. Power and weight.
Power:
I wouldn’t actually worry too much about power in your setup. The way you are making the power isn’t hard on even moderately well built converters. Power that comes high in the power band isn’t really hard on a converter, and nitrous doesn’t become much of an issue until about a 250 - 300 shot if the converter is built to take it. Our Performance Series converter would actually pretty easily handle your power combo. In fact, for power handling you could stray from the 3 companies you mentioned and probably get away with it if you had to.
Weight:
This is where you need to be the most concerned. Your setup is heavy. Weight is really hard on clutches and you will need one that can hold up to it. I would personally stay away from multi-disc converters in this setup. They will tend to chatter at idle and can make other noises around town that can get quite annoying. A large single clutch will work much better. Fuddle’s 43 square inch clutch is nearly twice the size most other companies “oversized” clutches. It is the largest available and will easily handle the weight of your setup. Also, when looking at clutches, make certain that the clutch is NOT unsprung. An unsprung clutch can’t absorb engine vibrations and can cause premature failure of transmission components. The springs on the clutch are also important in handling weight.
In regards to looseness/tightness of a converter. Remember that many companies rate their own stall speeds rather than using tested and trusted General Motors ratings. As such, you often end up with a converter advertised to stall to Xrpm that actually stalls to X-500rpm. That converter will always feel tighter because it is tighter. If you go with Fuddle and we tell you it is a 3200, you can rest assured, it is not a 2800 disguised as a 3200 to make it feel tighter.
I really hope this helps and if you have any questions please don’t hesitate to ask.

Good luck with your Fuddle.Mine blew up after only a month of use.Weekend driving only, no racing .They were quick to rebuild it. I sold it while still in the box. It lasted 1 1/2 months with its new owner. I rest my case.................
