Form a "in the business view" I would use nothing but a Circle D converter. I have one in my daily driver and it drives great. The only other one I would run is vig. but my first choice hands down is Circle D. They are a sponsor on hear as well, click the banner and give Chris a call he will hook you up.

I'm running their for 4C converter which is rated at 3600-3800 depending on power and has great street manners. They have smaller converters as well give Chris at Circle D a call he will take care of you.

As far as converters go, Yank & Vigilante seem to be the go to guys. I know on LS1s the lowest stall you should use would be a 35/3600 stall.

Call Yank or Vigilante and tell them your mods and goals and they will set you up
