for a 400 shot, you need a built converter; not an off-the-shelf unit. You can start by talking to yank. They have an extreme line that is built for nitrous. It had a lock up based upon torque input. Vig makes a triple disk lock-up converter. I don't how these carry over to the TH400.
Circle D is also builds converters, I don't know their product line so you ned to give them a call.

Definitely need a custom build. For a 400 shot it needs to be built right. Make sure it has a billet front and a flanged and/or balloon plates on the tranny side. Fully furnaced brazed and tig welded, bearings and upgraded sprag. Give me a call if you have any questions.
