torque converter
Here is one way to find out if its of high quality or just a lower end one. Look at the mounting tabs where they mount to the cover, if they are welded on its not a upper end unit, upper end units use a billet aluminum cover that is cnc'd with mounting tabs as part of the cover.

His converters is curently holding world records in 1/4 promods, and are a work of art, and good for me that he is local.
Look in your phone book for transmission converter shops in your area, you may get lucky and find someone who builds them and will cut yours open, inspect it, and get you up and going.
If you need my converter guy's number, PM me.

Ok guys here ya go!
Maybe one of our sponsors might be able to help. If it's a 245mm converter it is a better piece than the TCI type that uses the cheap TC build kit.

I would replace that junk converter you have with a Yank or Vigilante if your going to rebuild. Do it once and do it right! Check out our sponsors to the right, there are some really nice performance built transmissions you can buy too.
This is far from the truth. I have a converter builder right here in columbia, which has both style covers. I have the mounting adapter ring on mine, and my friend has the mounting tabs on his, both are high quality converters.

I have no doubt that the builder you deal with can build a badass converter for a pro-mod car. However, I doubt a record setting pro-mod car has a 4L60E transmission with a lock-up converter in it.
Not everybody has problems with these budget converters especially if PWM is disabled which prevents the gradual apply of the lock-up clutch. To each his own. But for the difference in price and the amount of money it could cost you if it fails (transmission rebuild) I'll go ahead and spend the extra coin on a quality converter.
