Turbo 6.0 4L80E stall converter Do i need a billet $900+ torque converter ? Im runing about 10lbs of boost on e85 500ish hp. I dont plan on ever runing any more than that just wondering if i could get away with a regular ~3000-3200 stall converter
like this ? Circle D GM 278mm HP 4L80 LS Torque Converter
Jeep weighs 3000 lbs and has 3.73 28" tires cant get hardly any power with stock converter off the line.

Most will recommend at least a Single Disk. PTC is $750 for a single disk for a 4l80e. Pretty well the cheapest I found. I ended up picking up a PI 3800 Billet Triple Disk only bc I got a real good price on it from someone that mocked it up to their motor and never used it.
However My friend uses Circle D's cheaper Converter in his TH400 behind a 370 turbo car that runs mid 10's. It does the job but he is upgrading since he had it spec'd for an NA build and it was a tad loose. he is showing a small MPH gain on the top end. Hard to say if its converter or turbo. I think its more due to the small .96a/r T4 68mm turbine.
your best bet would be call someone like CircleD. But I am almost positive they will recommend at minimum the Single Disk. As I have emailed around 6 or so companies about one for my build.
