I've been wondering the same thing for some time now. I'm liking the TSP 224R with a 114 LSA. Looks like it'll have a little lopiness and still have decent low end torque. Hopefully someone else can chime in with good advice.

216 220 529 532 114 or 220 220 563 563 114 or if you don't want to include a higher stall converter get the 212 218 581 581 115
