Default Torque converter help

Hello,
I am looking to buy a new torque converter, around a 3000 stall. I have a TH350C (lockup) transmission. It's pretty hard to find a 3000 converter that't not too expensive for this trans, but I did find one brand. It's an ACC performance boss hog converter, for around $400. 2800-3200rpm stall. Here's the link- www.accperformance.com Have any of you had any experience with these converters? I am wondering if it is a good idea to get mine from here. Thank you very much, and if you need to know any more info on the motor or car just ask.

-Dave

I need to start thinking about a good torque converter too (Big block TH400) I am also looking for a reputable company. The generic company that summit and all the mags show is TCI but I hear they are not so good. I would also like to know if BOSS HOG company is good or if anyone can suggest a good company for Monte up there and my self.

It seems the LS1 guys are really **** about TC selection looking beyond stall speed to torque multiplication ratios and all sorts of other factors. Why dont we old school guys see that kind of info?

Just put a TCI super street fighter 3500 on my truck and what a difference. I havent put many miles on it at all but the driveability is very similar to my B&M 2500 I replaced but when you get on the gas the tires just light up. Since when did TCI become a generic brand??? I understand that the price is lower but many LSx guys will say that the TCI is a good unit for the price.
